Good things come in small packages and mealtime is no exception. Right? Mommies and Daddies!
As a mom of a 5 years old little girl name Angela, I make sure that I always prepare healthy meal for my daughter. It is important to give them proper nutrition to make them healthy and strong.
Stir-frys are great. Once you’re done prepping the ingredients (which you can often do in advance), they are usually ready in about ten minutes. This m Pork Stir Fry with Broccoli and Oyster Sauceakes them ideal for weeknight dinners.
Specifically, I really like this pork stir fry. I like to eat it because it’s so flavorful. And I also like to make it because it’s a very easy recipe that makes my life easy on busy weeknights.
Make-ahead tip
You can do some of the prep work in advance, making the actual cooking even faster. I often slice the vegetables in the morning, then refrigerate them in an airtight container until I’m ready to cook them that night.
INGREDIENTS
Sauce:
- 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce (or use a gluten-free alternative and add salt as needed)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (use organic if you wish to avoid GMOs)
Stir fry:
- 2 cups broccoli florets, fresh or frozen
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1.5 lb. pork tenderloin, cut into 2-inch strips or pieces
- 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
Garnish:
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
INSTRUCTIONS
- Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, water and cornstarch. Set aside.
- Place the broccoli florets in a large microwave safe bowl. Add 2 tablespoons water. Cover with a microwave safe plate and cook on high until barely tender, about 2 minutes for fresh and 3 minutes for frozen. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Heat the avocado oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the pork pieces and stir-fry until no longer raw, about 3 minutes.
- Add the pepper slices, garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, 1 more minute.
- Lower the heat to medium and add the sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until the pork is cooked through and the sauce has thickened, about 3 minutes. If too much liquid evaporates, add a bit more water, 1-2 tablespoons.
- Turn the heat off and stir in the broccoli. It will finish cooking in the pan’s residual heat.
- Transfer the pork stir fry to a serving platter or bowl. Drizzle with sesame oil and serve.
We know they're good for us. Just like it was yesterday, we can hear our mothers urging, "Eat your vegetables!" as we sat at the family dinner table. But growing up doesn't automatically turn us into vegetable lovers. To many of us, it still seems next to impossible to eat several servings of vegetables a day.
Still, there's no denying we need vegetables. They're rich in fiber, vitamins, minerals, and important phytochemicals, and they're generally low in calories. So what's a vegetable hater to do?
Be healthy and Eat vegetables!!
