"This recipe is a cinch to make on a night when my opera-singing husband has to be out the door for an evening rehearsal," shares Ann Arbor, Michigan's Stephanie Gillett. "It's really tasty and reheats well, so I always make extra for lunches later in the week."

Ingredients

2 teaspoons cornstarch
3/4 cup chicken broth
4 teaspoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 pork tenderloin (3/4 pound), cut into 1-inch cubes
1 garlic clove, minced
3 cups broccoli coleslaw mix
1-1/2 teaspoons sesame seeds, toasted
Hot cooked rice, optional

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch, broth and soy sauce until smooth; set aside. In a large skillet or wok, heat oil; stir-fry the pork and garlic for 5 minutes. Add broccoli coleslaw mix; stir-fry 3-4 minutes longer or until meat is no longer pink and broccoli is crisp-tender.
Stir cornstarch mixture and gradually add to the pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1 minute or until thickened. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve with rice if desired.

Editor's Note

Broccoli coleslaw mix may be found in the produce section of most grocery stores.

This was a great idea but the sauce is really lacking any pizzaz. If I had time I would play with the sauce on this one and try and make it better, but there are too many other recipes to make out there.
