My Delicious Stir-Fry

Ingredients Needed

• 4 center cut pork chops, thinly sliced

• ¼ cup mirin (Japanese sweet wine)

• ¼ cup rice vinegar

• ½ cup soy sauce

• ½ cup mushrooms, sliced

• 1 green bell pepper, sliced

• 1 bunch green onions

• 1 clove garlic, minced

• 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root

• 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Instructions

1. Thinly slice the pork. It's easier to do this if the chops are partially frozen. In a medium bowl, combine the pork with mirin, rice vinegar, and soy sauce. Cover and refrigerate to marinate while you prepare the other ingredients.

2. Slice the mushrooms, green pepper, and the green tops of the green onions, and set them aside. Mince the white parts of the green onions, garlic, and ginger.

3. Heat a wok or large skillet over medium heat and coat with sesame oil. Sauté the minced green onion, garlic, and ginger until aromatic. Raise the heat to high, drain the pork of excess marinade, and add it to the wok. Reserve the marinade. Stir-fry the pork until it's no longer pink, about 4 minutes. Add the mushrooms, green pepper, and sliced green onion, and cook until the vegetables soften, about 4 minutes. Stir in the reserved marinade and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Important Tip

Adjust the amount of sauce based on your preference or the quantity of meat and vegetables you're using. Be careful not to make the dish too watery. If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can stir in 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. The key is getting the right balance of the sauce ingredients: 1 part rice wine and rice vinegar to 2 parts soy sauce.
