Move-it-Along Pork and Veggie Stir-Fry

Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 servings

Ingredients

2 pounds boneless pork rib chops or loin chops, cut into thin strips
1/4 cup tamari (dark aged soy sauce)
2-inch piece fresh gingerroot, peeled and grated or minced
Juice of 2 limes
1 tablespoon honey
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 bunch scallions, white and green parts thinly sliced and kept separate
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 small red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and cut into strips
2 Anaheim peppers, cut into strips
1 cup shredded carrots (bagged in the produce aisle)
12 button mushrooms, trimmed of stems, caps thinly sliced
1/2 head broccoli, cut into very small flowerets
1/2 small head napa cabbage, core removed and leaves thinly sliced
1 cup chicken stock or broth
1 handful fresh cilantro leaves, chopped

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Combine the pork in a shallow dish with the tamari, ginger, half the lime juice, and honey. Let the pork marinate while you chop up all of your vegetables. By the time you are finished, the pork will have marinated long enough.

    Step 2

    Heat a large nonstick skillet with about 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil. Remove the pork from the marinade; shake off the excess marinade and reserve. Once the skillet is screaming hot, add the pork slices in one even layer. Cook the sliced pork without stirring for 2 minutes. Toss the pork with tongs and cook for 1 more minute. Remove the pork from the pan and reserve. Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the white part of the scallions, the garlic, and the bell pepper, Anaheim peppers, shredded carrots, and mushrooms. Cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently. Add the broccoli and the napa cabbage; continue to cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add the reserved marinade and the chicken stock, bring up to a simmer, and cook for 2 minutes. Add the pork back to the skillet and cook for 1 more minute, or until the pork is cooked through. Turn the heat off, add the remaining lime juice and the cilantro, and toss to distribute. Taste for seasoning, add more tamari or lime juice accordingly, and serve immediately.
