Worthy of a Special Occasion

Serve pork over rice noodles.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: about 1 cup pork mixture)

Ingredients

  • 1  pound  pork tenderloin
  • 2  tablespoons  cornstarch, divided
  • 1/3  cup  fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/4  cup  orange juice
  • 2  tablespoons  low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1  teaspoon  chili garlic sauce
  • 1/4  teaspoon  salt
  • Cooking spray
  • 1 1/2  teaspoons  canola oil
  • 2  cups  matchstick-cut carrots
  • 1/4  cup  water
  • 2  teaspoons  bottled ground fresh ginger (such as Spice World)
  • 2  teaspoons  bottled minced garlic
  • 1/3  cup  diagonally cut green onions
  • Sliced green onions (optional)

Preparation

Cut pork into 2 x 1/4-inch-wide strips. Combine pork and 1 tablespoon cornstarch in a bowl; toss well. Combine remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch, broth, and next 4 ingredients (through salt).

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add pork to pan; sauté 3 minutes or until desired degree of doneness; stir frequently. Remove pork from pan.

Heat oil in pan. Add carrots, 1/4 cup water, ginger, and garlic to pan; cook 1 1/2 minutes, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Return pork to pan. Stir in broth mixture; bring to a boil. Cook 30 seconds. Stir in 1/3 cup onions. Serve immediately. Garnish with sliced onions, if desired.

Easy and basic stir-fry that is great just as is. But can be changed up to taste with different match-stick veggies like snow peas and carrots or peppers and carrots. Liked your suggestion of nuts, used unsalted peanuts.02/24/09
