Stir-Fried Pork and Broccoli with Hoisin Sauce


PREP 5 MIN COOK 15 MIN SERVES 4

3/4 lb boneless pork loin, trimmed and cut into 2 x 1/4-inch strips
2 Tbsp dry sherry
1 Tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 Tbsp cornstarch
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp Asian (dark) sesame oil
2 cups broccoli florets
1 orange bell pepper, cut into strips
1 1/2 tsp grated peeled fresh ginger
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4cup hoisin sauce
2 Tbsp honey
2 cups hot cooked white rice


1. Toss together the pork, sherry, soy sauce, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl until coated evenly; set aside.

2. Heat the sesame oil in a nonstick wok or large deep nonstick skillet over high heat. When a drop of water sizzles in it, add the broccoli and bell pepper; stir-fry until browned, about 3 minutes.

3. Add the ginger and stir-fry about 1 minute. Add the orange juice, hoisin sauce, honey and mixture (created in Step 1); stir-fry until the pork is cooked through and the sauce thickens and bubbles, about 2 minutes longer. Serve with the hot cooked rice.

First off I just want to add that I didn't use the Asian (dark) sesame oil (simply because I didn't have any on hand and I wasn't going to the store to buy some for 1 tsp); we used olive oil instead.


This was great! Everyone enjoyed it and really liked it. My two teenage boys returned for seconds! Success!
