2clovesgarlic minced
1tablespoongrated ginger or ginger paste
1-2tablespoonmirinoptional
⅛teaspooncrushed red pepper
1tablespooncornstarch
Pork Stir Fry
2tablespoonsvegetable oil
1 ¼lb.pork tenderloin sliced into very thin strips
1medium yellow onion diced
2cupsbroccoli florets cut into bite-size pieces
1red bell pepper sliced julienne
2medium carrots peeled and cut into matchsticks
¼cupsliced green onions
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the beef broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, mirin if using, red pepper, and cornstarch. Set the bowl aside for a bit.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pork and cook until seared and browned on the bottom. Flip and cook until browned on the other side. Plate the pork and cover it to keep it warm. Work in batches so as not to crowd the pan. Add more oil if needed.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, broccoli, and red bell pepper. Stir fry for about 2 minutes, then add the carrots and continue cooking and stirring for another 1-2 minutes or until everything is crisp-tender. Plate the vegetables but do not cover them.
Whisk the sauce that was set aside and add it to the skillet over medium-low heat. Cook while whisking frequently until thickened. Add the pork and veggies back to the skillet and toss to warm. Garnish with sliced green onions.
Notes
Stir fry recipes move fast. Have what you need cut and ready to go and close to your stovetop.
Cook the pork in a single layer to sear against the skillet.
Vegetables should be dry so they stir fry, not steam. Don't overcook the veggies. Cook just until crisp-tender.
This recipe also works well with boneless pork chops, chicken, steak, ground beef, and ground pork.
Add other veggies like bok choy, mushrooms, bean sprouts, zucchini, snap peas, baby corn, water chestnuts, or bamboo shoots.
