500gramspork stripsor loin steaks sliced into strips
1bunch broccolini(baby broccoli)
1green capcicum
1tablespoonsoy sauce
2tablespoonshoisin sauce
2clovesgarlic
1.5inchpiece fresh ginger
1birdseye chillioptional
2cupscooked white rice to serve
Instructions
Prepare your vegetables by cutting the broccolini in half lengthwise, and then widthwise and finely slicing the capsicum, discarding the seeds. Slice up the chilli if using.
Make the sauce. Into a jar place the soy sauce and hoisin sauce. Peel the ginger and garlic and then using a fine grater or a microplane, grate into the jar with the sauce. Shake the jar to combine the sauce.
Heat a wok or medium sized frying pan over high heat with a splash of canola oil or another light tasting cooking oil. When hot, add the pork strips and stir fry, moving the strips around the pan until they start to brown. Add about half of the sauce and toss through the pork until coated and the pork is almost cooked through. Remove from the pan and sit aside on a plate.
Put the wok back on the heat with another splash of oil and add in your broccolini and capsicum. If you want a slightly milder flavour of the chilli through the dish you can also cook it with the veggies in this step, otherwise you can save it to serve on top. Add the remaining sauce and cook the veggies for a couple of minutes or until just starting to soften.
Add the pork back into the wok (including any sauce/juices) with the vegetables and toss through to finish cooking and heat through for a couple of minutes.
Serve immediately over a bed of cooked white rice and top with fresh chilli if desired.
Notes
For extra speed with this recipe, see if you can buy pork stir fry strips that have already been sliced. If you can’t, just use pork loin steaks and slice them yourself which is what I’ve done.Stir fry is pretty forgiving so use whatever combination of vegetables you have, I just love the combination of the tender broccolini and crisp capsicum with the pork here.Vegetarian Option: You can use tofu instead of pork, but instead of stir frying it, cube the tofu and then coat the tofu pieces in some sauce and then just gently fry them up in a pan until the sauce gets a bit golden and crispy on the outside. Follow the rest of the steps as written.This recipe was inspired by a Marley Spoon meal box delivery recipe.
