Ingredients
- 1 lb pork tenderloin
- 3 Tbs soy sauce
- 1 1/2 Tbs teriyaki marinade
- 1 1/2 tsp golden brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp maiziena / cornstarch
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Enough VOO (virgin olive oil) to lightly coat the wok
- 3–4 medium minced cloves of garlic
- 1–2 Tbs grated fresh ginger
- 4 medium white button mushrooms, chopped
- 3 medium heads baby bok choy (wash, cut off the white stalks and keep leaves separate)
- 1/2 cup unsalted cashews
Instructions
- Slice the meat into medallions of ±½-1 inch chunks.
- Whisk the soy sauce, teriyaki marinade, brown sugar, cornstarch, and freshly ground pepper until the cornstarch and sugar are dissolved.
- Add the pork, toss to coat, and marinate for 5-10 minutes.
- Flip and turn the meat after 5 minutes in the marinade in order to cover both sides.
- Heat oil in a large wok (just enough to cover the bottom) until hot.
- Drain or wipe out the excess oil.
- Add the ginger and garlic and stir-fry, until nicely flavored.
- Add the pork in a single layer and cook until it’s medium done or to your liking.
- Drip the remainder of the sauce over the meat medallions.
- Turn the heat down and stir-fry till the meat is nearly cooked through and keep aside.
- Heat some more oil in the wok, add the bok choy stalks, as well as the mushrooms, and stir-fry until crisp-tender.
- We prefer our greens more crispy, so do not overcook them.
- Return the pork and add the bok choy leaves and cashews to the wok, and stir-fry until the leaves are wilted and serve immediately.
- We served it with sweet glazed butternut. The flavors complimented each other very well.
