Ingredients:


1 pound pork tenderloin -- or roast

8 medium green onions

1 medium bell pepper -- red or green

1 1/2 cups broccoli -- fresh

1 large onion

12 medium pea pods

3 tablespoons peanut oil -- --sauce---

2 cloves garlic -- sliced

2 slices fresh ginger root -- chopped

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes -- crushed

2 tablespoons hot water

2 teaspoons sugar

4 tablespoons soy sauce -- low sodium

6 tablespoons catsup -- * see note
 

Preparation / Directions:


* substitute 8 tablespoons hoisin sauce in place of the catsup and soy sauce if you prefer, or make a mixture of all three ingredients to equal about 9 tablespoons. Cut pork into narrow 1-inch strips, 1/4th inch thick; set aside. (partially freeze pork first for easier cutting). Cut green onions, bell pepper, broccoli and onion into 1 inch pieces; set aside. Combine garlic, ginger, pepper flakes, hot water, sugar, 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 skillet and keep warm. Add more oil if needed and stir-fry all vegetables tender crisp. Add pork and sauce to mixture; cook until thickened. Serve with hot boiled rice. NOTE: I also have used this recipe and substituted lean beef for the pork. Recipe by: Jo Merrill "From The Best of Country Cooking"
