Pork and Pepper Stir-Fry

I bought a bag of sweet peppers to see if Kai would like some added to his meals (he does), and decided to use some to make us some dinner the other night.

The recipe is from The Woks of Life website.  It's a keeper 'cause was ono and easy.

Ingredients

For the pork and marinade:

  • 8 ounces pork shoulder or loin (cut into thin strips)
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon Shaoxing wine
  • 1 teaspoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon light soy sauce

For the rest of the dish:

  • 6 long hot green peppers (6 peppers = 10-12 ounces/280-340g)
  • 2 slices ginger
  • 3 cloves garlic (thinly sliced)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon dark soy sauce

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine the thin strips of pork, water, cornstarch, oil, Shaoxing wine, oyster sauce and light soy sauce. Mix well and set aside while you prepare the other ingredients.
  • De-seed the peppers, and thinly slice them on a diagonal. Prepare your ginger and garlic.
  • Heat your wok over high heat until smoking. Add 1 tablespoon of oil, and then add the pork. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until the pork is lightly browned around the edges. Remove the pork from the wok and set aside.
  • Over medium-high heat, add another tablespoon of oil, along with the ginger, garlic, and peppers, and fry for 30 seconds to 1 minute. The peppers should be beginning to blister from the heat, but control the heat to avoid burning the garlic! Add the Shaoxing wine to deglaze the wok. Stir for another 10 seconds. 
  • Add the pork back to the wok along with the sugar and dark soy sauce. Stir-fry for another few seconds over high heat, and serve.

Honolulu Aunty just told me that the link I have in my sidebar on my blog for Photos By Jalna has the post titled "Exotic Phenomena in Dimension 4." So I removed your blog and then installed it again with the correct link and that title still comes up. It's the weirdest thing. I've never seen that happen. Whatever the case, when you click on the link, it's correct and I get your latest post. I don't know what is happening.

Awww, sorry for the confusion. That is my next post. I accidentally published it before I meant to. I removed it, but that doesn't remove your link. I'll publish it now so that you'll be in sync.

Thank you, Jalna. Phew! I'm glad it wasn't some sort of virus.
