How to Make Asian Style Pork And Broccoli In Garlic Sauce
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 teaspoons cornstarch and 2 tablespoons soy sauce until smooth. Add 1 lb of trimmed pork (or chicken) strips, toss to coat, and marinate for at least 30 minutes (longer is better!).
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 teaspoons cornstarch, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons water, and 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil and 1 tablespoon peanut oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes.
- Add the marinated pork (or chicken) and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until lightly browned.
- Add 8 oz sliced mushrooms, 10 oz broccoli florets, 2 green onions (sliced), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon grated ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional).
- Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Stir in the hoisin sauce mixture, cooking for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
- Add 2 tablespoons orange juice and stir until heated through.
- Serve immediately over cooked rice. Garnish with extra green onions, if desired.
