Time 2h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 pound pork loin, cut into 1 1/2-inch by 1/4-inch strips
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon chili paste
1 clove garlic, grated on a rasp grater
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup shaved Brussel sprouts
1 cup diced acorn squash
4 scallions, thinly sliced up to pale green, dark green tops reserved for garnish
1 Bartlett pear, peeled and diced
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Whisk the brown sugar and 1/4 cup of the soy sauce in a bowl. Toss the pork in the mixture. Marinate in the fridge for 2 hours.
  • Mix together the hoisin, ginger, chili paste, garlic and remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Heat a large skillet (12- to 14-inch) over high heat and add the oil. Toss the pork with the cornstarch to coat.
  • Add the pork to the skillet in small batches and cook, stirring infrequently to ensure good browning and crispness, until the pork is barely cooked through, about 5 minutes; remove with a slotted spoon and set aside on wire-racked baking sheet.
  • Add the sprouts, squash and scallions to the hot skillet and stir-fry until the veggies are crisp-tender and have developed good caramelization, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the pork back and cook 1 minute. Add the hoisin mixture and simmer for an additional 1 minute. Add the pears and toss to coat. Remove from the heat.
  • Very thinly slice the reserved scallion tops on the bias and toss them in with the sesame seeds to garnish.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/3 cup (90 milliliters) vegetable stock
3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) oyster sauce
1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon cornstarch
Pinch white pepper
2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) vegetable oil
One 14-ounce (420-gram) package firm tofu (see Cook's Note), cut into large dice
2 teaspoons (10 grams) thinly sliced ginger
12 cremini mushrooms, sliced
4 ounces (95 grams) canned sliced bamboo shoots
6 canned water chestnuts, sliced
1 cup (240 grams) bean sprouts
1/2 cup (120 grams) julienned carrots
1 cup (240 grams) shredded Napa cabbage leaves
2 ounces (95 grams) snow peas, trimmed

Steps:

  • For the sauce: Stir together the stock, oyster sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, cornstarch and pepper in a small bowl, making sure the cornstarch is dissolved well. Set aside.
  • For the vegetable stir-fry: Heat a wok or a large skillet over medium-high to high heat. Swirl in
  • the oil to coat the bottom. When you see wisps of white smoke, add the tofu and stir-fry until light brown on the edges, about 2 minutes. Then add the ginger and stir-fry it until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, bean sprouts, carrots, cabbage and snow peas and keep them moving while searing. Don't be scared to scrape the pan and fold the vegetables over many times. Cook until the Napa cabbage gets bright green and starts to soften, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the sauce, coat all the vegetables and tofu and bring the sauce to a boil. The cornstarch will thicken into a glaze, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and serve immediately.

GINGER VEGGIE STIR-FRY



Ginger Veggie Stir-Fry image

I just whipped this up one day when I felt like a stir-fry but did not have all the ingredients called for in some of the stir-fry recipes on this site. I used certain veggies I had on hand, but any seasonal veggies may be used. It has a mild ginger flavor that can be enhanced according to taste, and is filling yet light on the tummy! Tofu may be added. Serve over a bed of steamed jasmine rice.
