Number Of Ingredients 24

1 to 1.5 lbs. pork (ribs or substitute pork tenderloin or chicken thighs, sliced)
Marinade:
2 tsp. corn starch
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 tbsp. sherry
1 shallot (OR 1/3 c. purple onion, diced)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
6 teaspoons galangal (or ginger, grated )
1 to 1 1/2 cups snow peas
3-4 heads bok choy (baby)
1 cup mushrooms (sliced)
1 bell pepper (red, sliced)
Garnish: fresh coriander/cilantro
Sweet & Sour Sauce:
3/4 cup stock (chicken)
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup brown sugar (not packed)
1 tbsp. vinegar
3 tbsp. fish sauce
2 tbsp. soy sauce
1 chili pepper (red, minced, OR 1-3 tsp. chili sauce OR 1/2 to 1 tsp. cayenne pepper )
1 tbsp. lemon juice
6 lime leaves (cut with scissors into thin strips, stems discarded)
2 tsp. corn (starch dissolved in 3-4 tbsp. water)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Chop ribs into 2-3 inch segments and place in a bowl. Make the marinade and pour over the ribs. Toss well to coat. Set in the refrigerator to marinate while you prepare the other ingredients.
  • Warm a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons oil and swirl around, then add the shallot, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry 1 minute to release the fragrance.
  • Add the sweet & sour sauce ingredients-except the lime leaves and cornstarch-water. Stir and bring to a boil.
  • Add the marinated pork plus the lime leaf strips and mushrooms. Stir well. Reduce heat to medium or medium-low (so pork is gently simmering). Cover and simmer 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the bell pepper and snow peas, stirring them in. Simmer 3-4 more minutes, or until vegetables have softened but still retain their color, and the pork is cooked.
  • Add the baby bok choy and cornstarch-water mixture. Stir well. The sauce will thicken in 1-2 minutes, which is just long enough to cook the bok choy (you want it still crisp).
  • Reduce heat to low and taste-test, adding more fish sauce for more salt/flavor, or more sugar if you prefer it sweeter. Top with the fresh coriander and serve with plain rice, Sticky Rice , or Coconut Rice .
