Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh lean pork (tenderloin or roast)
  • 6 to 8 green onions
  • 1 medium green or sweet red pepper
  • 1-1/2 cups fresh broccoli
  • 1 large onion
  • 12 edible-pod peas
  • 3 tablespoons peanut oil or vegetable oil

  • 2 tablespoons hot water
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 6 tablespoons ketchup
  • 4 tablespoons soy sauce

Directions

  • Cut pork into narrow 1-in. strips, 1/4-in. thick; set aside. (Partially freeze pork first for easier cutting.) Cut green onions, peppers, broccoli and onion into 1-in. pieces; set aside. Combine garlic, ginger, pepper flakes, hot water, sugar, ketchup and soy sauce (or substitute 8 tablespoons prepared Hoisin Sauce for the ketchup and soy sauce); set aside. In wok or large skillet, heat peanut or vegetable oil over high heat. Stir-fry the pork in oil until browned; remove from wok and keep warm. Add more oil if necessary and stir-fry all vegetables tender/crisp. Add pork and sauce mixture; cook until thickened. Serve with boiled rice. Yield: 8 servings.
