Dinner tonight- Orange pork stir fry
I am waaaaay behind on these but I want to keep doing them, otherwise I can't figure out how to make what I made that one time. I did think about starting a cooking blog for all of these, except I don't think I can take and post 87 different angles of the same dish and that seems to be what cooking blogs are about. Hrm must think on that.
Anyways. How I cook has drastically changed lately with all of G's allergies. We're up to eggs, dairy, soy, beef, beans, garlic, onions and pineapple. I've never been a huge fan a pork but it's that or chicken all the time. I've been making a lot of meat-veggie-starch meals because Lily prefers them and it seems easier to customize that way and less likely to depend on ingredients like onions and garlic.
However, for this dish, I really wanted to find a good stir-fry I could make with no soy. So here we are.
Orange Pork Stir-Fry
~1 lb boneless pork chops, sliced
1T mirin
1t cornstarch
Sauce:
2 oranges zested and juiced
water to make 1/2 c juice
1T honey
1T ground ginger (could use more or fresh but I didn't have any)
1T mirin
splash sesame oil
2 t corn starch
Veggies:
1 bag cut-up broccoli
1 red pepper, sliced
Mix Pork, mirin and cornstarch and set aside of 30 min.
Mix sauce up in a jar with a lid.
Heat oil in wok. Stir-fry pork mixture until nearly cooked through, transfer to a bowl.
Wipe out wok and heat more oil. Stir-fry veggies until nearly tender. Add in pork with any juices and heat through. Add sauce, cook until thickened.
Serve over rice garnished with green onions for the adults.
