Pork and Broccoli Stir Fry

Stir fry is so simple; many people tell me they don’t need a recipe for it. Just pick out your favorite meats and veggies, sauté them together and voila! I, however, always like to have a plan. This Rachael Ray stir fry recipe stuck out to me because it combines some of my favorite flavors – garlic, ginger and soy sauce. If you’re the type who likes to experiment, feel free to add some of your favorite veggies to the pan (water chestnuts might work well).

Ingredients

1/3 cup Oyster sauce
3 T vegetable oil
12 oz boneless pork chops, thinly sliced
8 oz broccoli florets
8 oz shiitake mushrooms, sliced (I just bought a pack of gourmet mushrooms)
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 T minced fresh ginger (I substituted 1 T ground ginger)

Directions

1. Chop your broccoli and any other non-meat ingredients you are preparing by hand (ginger, mushrooms). Set aside.
2. Mix the oyster sauce with 1 cup water, set aside.
3. Heat 1 T vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet on high heat.
4. While the skillet heats, chop the pork into bite-size pieces.
5. Cook the pork in the skillet until the pieces are golden brown, 2-5 minutes.
6. Transfer the pork to a plate.
7. Add 2 T veg. oil to the same skillet and cook broccoli and mushrooms for 2 minutes.
8. Add the garlic, ginger and oyster sauce mixture to the skillet and cook for 3 minutes.
9. Return pork to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes. Serve.
