Here's
a quick week night dinner on the table in less than 30 minutes.
Sorry... I didn't mean to sound like Rachael Ray. : ) I loved how this
dish turned out because the Teriyaki sauce really made this dish sing. I
don't usually use Teriyaki sauce in stir fries, but I will do so from
now on. The sauce had a balance of sweet, savory and spicy. Now that's
a perfect combo in my book.
Ingredients:
1lb of lean pork sliced into thin strips (or cubed)
1 medium onion chopped coarsely
1 green bell pepper cut into large pieces
2-3 carrots sliced thick
1 can of water chestnuts drained
1 bunch of scallions (green and white parts) chopped
2-3 cloves garlic grated
2Tbs of fresh ginger grated (or you can use 2Tbs of my ginger-garlic-paste)
1 tsp red chili flakes (or to taste)
Note: if you are eating this with rice, have your rice cooking at the same time so both will be done together.
For the Sauce:
1/2 cup Teriyaki sauce ( I used Kikkoman brand)
1/2 cup of Chinese rice wine (not vinegar) or dry sherry
1 Tbs of brown sugar
2 tsp sesame oil
1 Tbs of water
1 Tbs of cornstarch
First add the cornstarch and water to a bowl and mix well. Then add your other ingredients and mix all together. Set sauce aside until the final step in the stir fry process.
Note: If you cannot get Teriyaki Sauce try to use 1/2 cup of soy sauce with 1 Tbs of rice wine vinegar and 1 Tbs of brown sugar as a substitute. Mix this with the other ingredients listed above for the sauce.
Directions:
After you slice the pork, toss it well with black pepper.
Add 2 Tbs of canola oil into a wok and get it hot on high heat. add your pork and stir fry for 2 minutes. Then add your ginger and garlic and stir fry for another 2 minutes.
Next add your vegetables and stir fry for another 3-4 minutes. You can also add your red chili flakes here if you want it spicy.
Finally pour your prepared sauce. Allow the stir fry to cook with the sauce for 2-3 minutes. The sauce should begin to thicken because of the cornstarch. Taste for seasoning and turn off the stove.
Serve with rice. Enjoy.
Note: You can substitute Beef or Chicken for the Pork in the dish.
