STIR-FRIED PORK WITH ASPARAGUS



Stir-Fried Pork with Asparagus image

If you like a really strong garlic flavor, reserve half of the garlic and stir it in at the end of the cooking, along with the optional sesame oil. Serve with rice. Other cuts of meat you can use here: beef, preferably sirloin; lamb, preferably from the shoulder or leg; boneless chicken; shrimp (which will cook more quickly).

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
3 or 4 small dried red chiles, optional
1 pound boneless pork, preferably shoulder or tenderloin, thinly sliced or cut into 1/2-inch chunks
2 cups trimmed pencil-thin asparagus, cut into 1-inch-long pieces
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon peeled and minced fresh ginger
1/2 cup sliced scallion
1/2 cup chicken stock, preferably homemade (page 160), or water
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons dark sesame oil, optional

Steps:

  • Have all the ingredients ready, including cooked white rice if you're planning to serve it. Preheat a large skillet over high heat for about 2 minutes. Immediately add half the peanut oil, the chiles if you're using them, and the pork, spreading it in one even layer. Cook, stirring only occasionally, until the pork browns, about 3 minutes. Transfer the pork to a bowl (discard the chiles) and lower the heat slightly.
  • Add the remaining oil and the asparagus to the skillet. Again, cook, stirring occasionally, until the asparagus turns bright green and begins to become tender, 3 or 4 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, and scallion and cook, stirring once or twice, for 30 seconds.
  • Add the stock and soy sauce, stir, and cook for 15 seconds. Add the sesame oil if you like and serve.

Time 45m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

12 ounces pork tenderloin
1 teaspoon fish sauce
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/3 cup low sodium chicken broth
2 teaspoons lime juice
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup minced lemongrass, from 2 stalks (trim all but bottom 3-4 inches, remove tough outer sheath, then cut finely)
3/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 1/2 tablespoons peanut oil or 3 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 lb asparagus, cut on the diagonal into 2-inch pieces
1/4 cup water
1 large onion, cut into 1/4-to 3/8-inch wedges
2 -3 tablespoons chopped fresh Thai basil

Steps:

  • Freeze the tenderloin until firm, 20 to 30 minutes. Cut the tenderloin crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick medallions. Slice each medaillon into 1/3-inch-wide strips.
  • Combine the pork, 1 tsp fish sauce, and the soy sauce in a small bowl.
  • Whisk the remaining 2 tbsp fish sauce, the chicken broth, lime juice, brown sugar, and cornstarch in a measuring cup.
  • Combine garlic, lemon grass, red pepper flakes and 1 tbsp of the oil.
  • Heat 1 1/2 tsps oil in a nonstick 12-inch skillet or in a wok over high heat until smoking; add half of the pork to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally and breaking up the clumps, until well browned, about 2 minutes. Transfer pork to a bowl. Repeat with an additional 1 1/2 tsps oil and the remaining pork.
  • Add 1 tbsp oil to the now-empty skillet or wok; add the asparagus and cook, stirring every 30 seconds, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add the water, cover the pan, and lower the heat to medium. Steam the asparagus until tender-crisp, about 2 minutes; transfer the asparagus to the bowl with the pork.
  • Add the remaining 1 1/2 tsps oil to the skillet or wok; add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown and soften, about two minutes.
  • Clear the center of the skillet; add the garlic and lemon grass mixture to the clearing and cook, mashing the mixture with a spoon, until fragrant, about 1 minute, then stir the mixture into the onion. Return the pork and asparagus to the skillet and toss to combine. Whisk the sauce to recombine, then add to the skillet/wok; cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce is thickened and evenly distributed, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with the thai basil. Serve immediately.
