I really liked that there were a lot of veggies in this meal. It was a very healthy dinner. It also didn't take an too long to prepare -longer than the 10 min prep, 20 min cook the book said, but still not an hour or anything. Probably more like 10 min prep - 1 hour marinade, 10 more minutes prep, 15 min cook.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup chicken stock
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 2 Tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1.5 lb boneless pork loin chops cut into thing strips
- 1 Tablespoon canola oil
- 2.5-3 cups broccoli florets
- 3 medium to large carrots, sliced
- 3 celery rips, chopped
- 4 cups shredded cabbage (about 1/2 a small head)
- 5 green onions, sliced
- 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
- Hot cooked rice
Directions
- In a small bowl, combine 1/3 cup broth, soy sauce, vinegar, honey and garlic powder. Pour 1/3 cup marinade into a large resealable plastic bag. Add the pork. Seal the bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade.
- Drain and discard marinade from the pork. In a large nonstick skillet or wok, stir-fry pork in oil for 5-6 minutes or until no longer pink. Remove and keep warm. (I was left with tons of liquid in the pan. I poured it down the drain.)
- In the same pan, stir-fry broccoli and carrots in reserved marinade for 2 minutes. Add celery; stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add cabbage and green onions; stir-fry 2-3 minutes longer or until vegetables are crisp-tender.
- Combine cornstarch and remaining 1/2 cup broth until smooth. stir into vegetable mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened. Return pork to the pan; heat through. Serve with rice.
Notes: (this one is to self) Don't forget to start the rice cooker when you start cooking the food - duh!!
Also, I think you could possibly speed this along by chopping the veggies in a food processor and cooking the meat and veggies at the same time in 2 separate pans. I started with chopping the carrots and had the carrots and broccoli ready to go in a container, then I chopped the rest of the veggies as the meat or other veggies were cooking.
