“I’ve been making this one-dish pork dinner for more than 20 years,” writes Lisa Thomason from Ingleside, Illinois. “And it’s always been a favorite. It’s fast, flavorful and easy to double for guests.” TASTY TIP: Use fresh ginger and more red pepper to kick up the heat; add shredded carrots for extra color.
Ingredients:
1-1/4 cups water, divided
3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons reduced-fat chunky peanut butter
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon browning sauce, optional
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 pork tenderloin (1 pound), cut into 1-inch cubes
5 teaspoons canola oil, divided
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
5 cups thinly sliced napa or chinese cabbage
1 cup thinly sliced carrots
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine 1 cup water, soy sauce, peanut butter, ginger, browning sauce if desired and red pepper flakes; set aside. In another bowl, combine cornstarch and remaining water until smooth; set aside.
2. In a large nonstick skillet or wok, stir-fry pork in 2 teaspoons oil until browned. Remove and keep warm. In the same pan, saute onion and garlic in remaining oil for 2 minutes. Add cabbage and carrots; stir-fry 3-4 minutes longer or until crisp-tender.
3. Return pork to the pan. Stir in peanut butter mixture. Stir cornstarch mixture and gradually stir into pork mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Yield: 4 servings.
