PORK AND MUSHROOM STIR-FRY
I have always had an aversion to the stir-fry. For me it has seemed a technique that sounds easier than it is. Everyone is always impressed that a stir-fried dish takes so little time to cook, but I saw endless chopping followed by frenzied last-minute activity at the stove that I felt unsuited for. I am a clumsy person, and there simply isn't a wok large enough for me to do a stir-fry and not end up with half the ingredients over all the burners. The recipe that won me over was this pork and mushroom dish. Marinating the pork keeps it wonderfully tender and makes the dish deeply flavorsome. And slicing mushrooms is never an effortful activity. Many Chinese cooks add a cornstarch paste at the end of cooking to create a binding sauce, but I love this one starch-free and light. You get depth but sprightliness.

Steps:
- Slice pork into strips about 2 inches long, 1 inch wide and 1/4 inch thick. Place in a bowl or sealable plastic bag, and add oyster sauce, 2 tablespoons sherry, sesame oil, garlic and red pepper flakes. Stir to coat well. Cover or seal, and allow to marinate at room temperature for 3 hours, or in refrigerator up to 24 hours.
- Place a large wok or skillet over high heat, and add oil. Allow pan to heat for 1 to 2 minutes, then add pork and marinade. Toss meat until seared and no longer pink. Add scallions, corn and sugar snaps. Stir until sugar snaps turn bright green, about 1 minute.
- Add bok choy and mushrooms, and stir constantly for about 1 minute. Add bean sprouts and remaining 1/4 cup sherry. Continue to stir until wine is almost evaporated. Transfer to a large platter, sprinkle with cilantro, and serve immediately.

BABY BOK CHOY WITH OYSTER SAUCE
This is among the easiest, most flavorful preparations of greens imaginable, and it pairs beautifully with almost any vaguely Asian roasted meat or fish. It is also exceptional on its own, with rice. You could swap out the bok choy for broccoli, if that's all you have, or chard, or beet greens.

Steps:
- Finely slice the pork and place in a mixing bowl with the rice wine or sherry, soy sauce, sesame oil and cornstarch. Stir to combine, then set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, trim the base of the bok choy and wash the stalks thoroughly. Cut off the leaves and set aside, then chop the stalk into slices about 1in wide and set aside separately from the leaves. Finely shred the root ginger to give about 1 tbsp of strands.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a wok. When very hot and slightly smoking, add the pork mixture and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until brown. Remove the pork from the wok using a slotted spoon and set the meat aside to drain.
- Add the ginger and garlic to the wok and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes or until golden. Add the chopped stalks of the bok choy and stir-fry for 2 minutes, then add the leaves, oyster sauce and 3-4 tbsp water and continue stir-frying until the sauce is bubbling.
- Return the pork to the wok and heat through with the bok choy for 1-2 minutes, then serve.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork: Thinly sliced pork shoulder (also known as pork butt) or pork loin are both good choices for this dish. Pork tenderloin can also be used, but it is more expensive.
- Marinate the pork: Marinating the pork in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, and cornstarch will help to tenderize it and give it flavor.
- Use high-quality oyster sauce: Oyster sauce is a key ingredient in this dish, so it is important to use a good quality brand. Look for oyster sauce that is made with real oysters and has a thick, rich consistency.
- Cook the pork quickly: Pork should be cooked quickly over high heat to prevent it from becoming tough. Stir-frying is a great way to cook pork because it allows you to cook it quickly and evenly.
- Add the vegetables last: Vegetables should be added to the stir-fry last so that they remain crisp and tender.
Conclusion:
Stir-fried pork with bok choy and oyster sauce is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and is sure to please everyone at the table. This dish is also a good source of protein and vegetables, making it a healthy choice for your family.
