Pork Stir-Fry With Spinach image

I had the two main ingredients on hand, and decided to get creative. We are big lovers of sesame oil. Everyone was pleased with the results, so I thought I'd post this before I forgot it. I served with this warm hokkien noodles, but rice would be fine, too.

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons sesame seeds
3 large garlic cloves, sliced thinly
5 -6 scallions, sliced
1 long red chili pepper, seeded and chopped
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
600 g pork steak, cut in strips
2 -3 tablespoons oil, plus (I used peanut)
1 dash sesame oil
1/4 cup Japanese soy sauce (tamari)
2 teaspoons sugar
4 teaspoons sesame oil
200 g Baby Spinach

Steps:

  • Toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan over a medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden. Shake the pan gently to keep the seeds moving (and not burning). Remove seeds from pan and set aside to cool.
  • Combine the garlic, scallions, chili, cayenne and pork. Mix well and set aside.
  • Combine soy sauce, sugar and 4 teaspoons of sesame oil. Mix well and set aside.
  • Heat the oil with the splash of sesame oil in a wok or heavy-based frying pan. Stir fry the pork (in 3-4 batches) over a high heat until golden. Remove meat and set aside.
  • Add the spinach and soy, sugar and sesame oil mixture to the wok/pan. Stir lightly and cover. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until spinach is soft.
  • Return pork to the pan, add the sesame seeds, stir well and heat for about 1 minute.
  • Serve over noodles or rice.
