Friday Food: Gingery, Garlicky Stir Fry Pork

Technically this isn't a recipe from a magazine, but I did see the link in a magazine and it's my rule* and I am interpreting it any way I see fit today!!

I discovered this recipe about a month ago, and even in the dead of Winter it's a life saver. It takes less than 15 minutes to prepare and cook this stir fry and the rice too - in my rice cooker.

I don't like fresh coriander and so I omitted it, and I did add some hot dried chilli flakes, not having a fresh chilli on hand. Pak choy was on special for $1 a bunch and so I used that instead of snow peas.
Here is my version of the Sunrice recipe!!

NB A tablespoon is 20ml here, but only 15 in the UK and USA

Ginger, Garlicky Stir Fry Pork   serves 3 (I think)

• 400g lean pork, cut into strips
• 2 tbspn fresh ginger, cut into thin strips
• 4 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced
• 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
• 1/2 - 1 tspn dried chilli flakes or 1 fresh red chilli
  
• 3 tbspn Chinese cooking wine or dry sherry  (60ml)
• 6 tbspn soy sauce (120ml)
• 1 tbspn cornflour
• 3 tbspn vegetable oil
• 1 bunch pak choy or similar Asian Greens, thinly sliced
• 1/2 lemon
• 3 or 4 spring onions, sliced
• 1 cup Basmati or Jasmine rice, cooked

Place pork, ginger, garlic, red onion, wine, soy sauce and cornflour in a bowl and mix together gently.

Heat the oil in a wok or frypan. Add the pork mixture and stir fry quickly until the pork browns. Add the greens and cook for a further 2 minutes.

Serve with hot rice - squeeze over some lemon juice and top with the stir fry pork and sprinkle over the spring onions.

It's a recipe that's very easy to adapt to use whatever you have in the fridge: I've added red capsicum or broccolini. It doesn't keep perfectly in the fridge, but I do eat it the next day and I think the flavour actually improves.

*This year I am cooking from the magazines I buy or acquire.

Am making those delicious looking chocolate chip brownies this afternoon and when I looked up the recipe found the friday pork one. Definitely have to make this too now-one week night.

Looks really good. It's great for winter - hot rice & stir fry. We had rice & butter curry last night & it was delicious.

I made the ginger pork and coconut rice from Delicious and was disappointed. I liked all the ingredients and had them on hand. The leftovers were better the next day but I was surprised.

I might give this one a go instead. I had pork with green curry sauce and vegetables tonight and enjoyed that.

Hi Cindy,
I love the look of that stir fry but I think I'd add the fresh coriander I love it! And ginger and chilli what a great combo!

I'm posting under my new school blog which has been taking up my blogging time of late. So I might comment under either blog depending which one I'm using at the time
Love to your girls hope you've all been well.
