Ingredients
-
1 pound (16 ounces) pork roast or pork tenderloin, fat trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 cloves garlic, smashed and chopped
1 cup shredded carrots (about 2 large carrots)
1 cup cremini mushrooms, sliced
1/4 Napa (Chinese) cabbage, shredded (about 2 cups)
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon whole-grain mustard
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons natural peanut butter
1/2 cup hot water
Tips
You can cut your prep time in half by chopping all of your vegetables--and even the meat--ahead of time.
If you have a food processor, use the slicing attachment to make slicing the vegetables a breeze.
This recipe costs $7.30--that's less than the cost of one Chinese takeout entree, and you get two servings of vegetables per person.
NOTE:
When a recipe calls for hot water, heat it on the stove or in the microwave. Never use hot water from your tap to cook. It can contain sediment and minerals.
Directions
Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
Lower heat to medium and add the carrots, garlic, cabbage, and mushrooms. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring often. Meanwhile, combine the soy sauce, mustard, sesame oil, and peanut butter in a small bowl. Pour in the hot water and whisk with a fork until smooth. Pour the sauce over the vegetables and add the cooked pork back to the pan. Cook for two minutes, until sauce starts to bubble. Serve over whole-grain noodles or brown rice (calories not included.)
Serving size is 1 heaping cup.

I love asian style cuisine so I'm excited to try this. After reading some comments, add a few tablespoons of cornstartch to the half cup of water while it's cold and add it cold to the pan and let it heat up and it will thicken the sauce. If you like spicy, add some siracha-a thai hot sauce. - 11/18/10

I really love the comments, very helpful. I will make this with 4 thin boneless pork chops and 1 red and 1 yellow bell pepper, 1/4 cup water and add ginger+ lime for spices. Looking forward to trying it and will make with chicken too, if this works out well. Looks very delicious! Thanks for sharing. - 4/15/13

The colorful peppers shown in the photo are what make stir frys so appealing; one pepper costs over a dollar (and organic ones are out of this world costly) so I have to use any leftover veggies for my chicken or pork stir frys. But they are great when you need quick meals with leftover meat. - 4/15/13

Yet AGAIN, another Chef Meg recipe where the photo doesn't match the recipe--photo shows STRIPS of meat, not cubes, PEPPERS even though not listed in ingredients, and no CABBAGE or MUSHROOMS are visible. Too bad, because many people rely on the photo to determine whether to make the recipe. - 11/21/12

I am allergic to peppers and almost did not even look at it because of the pictures with peppers. But as written without peppers, I may just give it a try....
I don't use sesame oil, so don't have any..... Is there something else I can sub for it.... maybe some coconut oil or grapeseed oil? - 10/13/12

I'd switch the canola oil for something healthy like extra virgin olive oil, but the reason I am writing is that I really appreciate the not using hot water from the tap, tip.Thanks on that one! I'd love to see photos of the ACTUAL things chefs cook, but maybe that's too much a culinary stretch,Meg. - 10/12/12

I have a similar pork stir fry recipe, and instead of cutting the pork (or chicken breast - a good substitute) into cubes, I slice it very thin. It cooks quicker and there's more surface to take on the flavors. I use red & green peppers, onions, celery , sliced thinly. Use whatever vegs you like. - 2/3/12

Instead of using noodles or rice, use with cooked Quinoa.
Boil 1 1/2 cup of chicken of veg stock. When comes to a boil at 1 cup of Quinoa that has been rinsed in cold water. Turn heat down to med/low and simmer for about 15 min or until all liqiud has been absorbed. Recipe works well with Chicken. - 1/19/12
