Steps:
- Whisk together the hoisin sauce, brown sugar, soy sauce, and applesauce in a small bowl; set aside.
- Combine the pork and cornstarch in a bowl. Mix until the cornstarch evenly coats the pork; set aside.
- Heat the peanut oil and sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Cook the pork in three separate batches in the hot oil until no longer pink in the middle, 2 to 3 minutes per batch. Remove pork to a plate lined with paper towels to drain, reserving the oil. Add the ginger to the skillet; cook and stir for 30 seconds. Stir in the broccoli and cook until tender. Return the pork to the skillet and pour in the sauce; toss to coat. Cook until all ingredients are hot.

APPLE AND GINGER PORK BURGERS (REDUCED FAT)
This is my latest creation in my attempt to make comfort foods like burgers more healthy. We love a good burger but I am on a low fat diet. So, every Friday for the past few weeks, rather than going out to have fatty fast food meal I have been trying to invent a different type of reduced fat burger. This was the invention from tonight and I think it made the transition from brain to plate fairly well. I had mine simply with a bit of fat free mayo and a slice of tomato and my partner had a bit of ketchup and some onions.

Ingredients
For the burger:
- 1 lb. of lean ground pork
- 1 cup of grated apples
- 2 tablespoons of freshly grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- ¼ teaspoon of black pepper
For the toppings:
- 4 whole grain hamburger buns, toasted
- 4 slices of low-fat cheese
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 4 slices of tomato
- 4 slices of red onion
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, grated apples, ginger, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Using your hands, mix until well combined.
- Form the mixture into four even patties, ensuring that they are all the same size and shape. Use your thumbs to make a small indentation in the center of each patty. This will prevent the burgers from puffing up while cooking.
- Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F.
- In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty to melt. Remove the burgers from the heat and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
- While the burgers are resting, assemble the toppings on the buns. Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a slice of tomato and a slice of red onion. Add the cooked patty with the melted cheese on top, followed by the top half of the bun.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
