8 ounces rice noodles, pad thai style
1 small pork tenderloin (about 12 ounces), cut into 1/2-inch cubes
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

CHINESE GROUND PORK AND ASPARAGUS



Chinese Ground Pork and Asparagus image

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons Soy sauce
1 tablespoon Dry sherry
2 teaspoons Cornstarch
1 pound Pork (ground)
3 tablespoons Sesame oil
1 bunch Aspargus (trimmed to 1/2" to 3/4" pieces)
1 Jalapeno (red or green)
1 tablespoon Ginger (minced)
2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
1 teaspoon Honey
2 Green onions (thinly sliced)

Steps:

  • Whisk 1 tablespoon soy sauce, rice wine, and cornstarch in medium bowl. Add pork; toss to blend. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in heavy large wok or deep skillet over high heat. Add asparagus, chile, and ginger. Toss until asparagus is crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer asparagus mixture to plate.
  • Add remaining 1 teaspoon oil to wok. Add pork mixture and stir-fry until browned, using spoon to break up pork into small pieces, 2 to 3 minutes. Return asparagus mixture to wok. Add remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce, oyster sauce, and honey; stir-fry until pork is cooked through, adding water by tablespoonfuls if dry, about 2 minutes.
  • Add green onions; toss to incorporate. Season to taste with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Tips:

  • When choosing asparagus, look for spears that are bright green and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are limp or have brown spots.
  • To prepare the asparagus, snap off the woody ends. You can do this by bending the spear until it snaps naturally.
  • If you don't have Shaoxing wine, you can substitute dry sherry or white wine.
  • Be sure to use a well-seasoned wok or skillet for this recipe. A well-seasoned wok or skillet will help to prevent the food from sticking.
  • Stir-fry the pork and asparagus over high heat. This will help to create a flavorful and slightly charred dish.
  • Serve the Chinese ground pork and asparagus immediately with rice or noodles.
