Szechuan Pork and Broccoli image

I devised this recipe years ago to use up some leftover pork. Nowadays, we don't wait for leftovers! The spicy dish is easy to prepare, and in addition to broccoli, you can use almost any combination of fresh vegetables.

Yield 8 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound fresh lean pork (tenderloin or roast)
6 to 8 green onions
1 medium green or sweet red pepper
1-1/2 cups fresh broccoli
1 large onion
12 edible-pod peas
3 tablespoons peanut oil or vegetable oil
SAUCE:
2 cloves garlic, sliced
2 slices fresh ginger, chopped
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons hot water
2 teaspoons sugar
6 tablespoons ketchup
4 tablespoons soy sauce

Steps:

  • Cut pork into narrow 1-in. strips, 1/4-in. thick; set aside. (Partially freeze pork first for easier cutting.) Cut green onions, peppers, broccoli and onion into 1-in. pieces; set aside. Combine garlic, ginger, pepper flakes, hot water, sugar, ketchup and soy sauce (or substitute 8 tablespoons prepared Hoisin Sauce for the ketchup and soy sauce); set aside. In wok or large skillet, heat peanut or vegetable oil over high heat. Stir-fry the pork in oil until browned; remove from wok and keep warm. Add more oil if necessary and stir-fry all vegetables tender/crisp. Add pork and sauce mixture; cook until thickened. Serve with boiled rice.
