BISTEK/ADOBO

I made this tonight with fresh green beans. I just added the green beans to step 4 and let it simmer until cooked.  I also added cornstarch to the whole recipe so that the marinade thickened to the meat and then also to the green beans.  Caleb ate the green beans up! He's been anti-green beans for the past few weeks so I was a little surprised.

(It's a modified filipino recipe)

Ginger Pork and Stir Fry Veggies ****

INGREDIENTS

1 (whole ) pork tenderloin, about 12-oz., thinly sliced

2 tablespoon(s) (grated peeled) fresh ginger

1 cup(s) (reduced-sodium) chicken broth

2 tablespoon(s) teriyaki sauce

2 teaspoon(s) cornstarch

2 teaspoon(s) canola oil (I use EVOO)

8 ounce(s) snow peas, strings removed, fresh or frozen

1 medium zucchini, cut lengthwise , in half and thinly sliced crosswise

3 onions, cut into 3-inch pieces



DIRECTIONS

1. Toss pork with ginger in a bowl. Mix broth, teriyaki sauce and cornstarch in a cup; set aside.



2. In a nonstick 12-inch skillet, warm 1 tsp. oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add snow peas, zucchini and green onions, and stir-fry until lightly browned and tender-crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer vegetables to large bowl.



3. In the same skillet, heat remaining 1 tsp. oil; add pork mixture and stir-fry until pork just loses its pink color, about 3 minutes. Transfer pork to bowl with vegetables.



4. Stir cornstarch mixture to blend; add to skillet and heat to boiling. Boil until sauce thickens slightly, about 1 minute, stirring constantly. Return pork and vegetables to skillet, stir to combine with sauce and heat through. Serve with brown rice, if you like.
