Stir-Fried Broccoli and Pork

Instructions

1. 1

   Hot Cooked Rice (below) 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 3 cups broccoli flowerets OR 1 (16 ounce) bag frozen broccoli cuts -- thawed 1/4 cup chicken broth 1/2 cup peanuts HOT COOKED RICE 1 cup uncooked regular long-grain white rice 2 cups water Cut and discard most of the fat from the pork. Cut pork into 2 × 1 × 1/8-inch slices. Peel and finely chop the garlic. Peel the onions, and cut each into 8 pieces; set aside. Drain the water chestnuts in a strainer. To make a marinade, mix the garlic, soy sauce, cornstarch and red pepper in a glass or plastic bowl. Stir in pork. Cover and refrigerate 20 minutes. (For easier marinating, use a resealable plastic bag. The bag makes it much easier to turn the pork to coat all sides) While the pork is marinating, prepare Hot Cooked Rice. About 10 minutes before rice is done, heat the skillet over high heat 1 to 2 minutes. Add the oil to the hot skillet, then the pork. Stir-fry with a turner or large spoon 5 to 6 minutes, lifting and stirring constantly, until pork is no longer pink. (Because stir-frying is done over high heat, you must constantly lift and turn the pork to prevent scorching and to cook evenly.) Add the onions, broccoli and water chestnuts to pork mixture. Stir-fry 2 minutes. Stir in the broth, and heat to boiling over high heat. Stir in the peanuts. Serve pork mixture with rice. HOT COOKED RICE: Heat the rice and water to boiling in the saucepan over high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Once mixture is boiling, reduce heat just enough so mixture bubbles gently. Cover and cook about 15 minutes or until rice is fluffy and tender. ____________________ Please note, if you should change this recipe it will no longer be an approved Betty Crocker® Recipe.
