Kris Wells of Hereford, Arizona dresses up pork tenderloin with a sweet apricot sauce mildly seasoned with ginger. It makes an impressive entree, yet leaves plenty of extra pork for meals later in the week. "The sauce is also good on baked ham," Kris adds.

PORK STIR-FRY WITH APRICOT SAUCE



Pork Stir-Fry With Apricot Sauce image

Here's a little something I whipped up to use up some apricot preserves- it's sweet, hot, and savory.

Provided by beffymaroo

Categories     Pork

Time 1h50m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/3 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup apricot preserves
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1 teaspoon habanero sauce (for the brave- otherwise, 1 tsp red pepper flakes is a good alternative)
2 tablespoons grated garlic
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 1/2 lbs pork loin or 1 1/2 lbs tenderloin, cut into bite-sized strips
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/2-1 lb chopped assorted fresh vegetable (some goods ones are onion, bell pepper, broccoli, snow peas, mushrooms- go nuts)

Steps:

  • Combine first seven ingredients well, set aside half of mixture and refrigerate.
  • Combine the other half of the soy sauce mixture with the pork in a mixing bowl.
  • Cover pork mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Allow to marinate for at least one hour.
  • Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat and add sesame oil.
  • When oil is hot, but not smoking, add pork mixture and cook until just barely cooked through- approximately 4-6 minutes.
  • Remove pork from skillet/wok with a slotted spoon and put aside in a clean bowl.
  • Add the vegetables to the pan and cook, stirring frequently until crisp-tender. You may want to add them in order of density to keep from overcooking some of them (e.g. carrots first, then broccoli, then mushrooms last).
  • When the vegetables are just cooked enough, add the pork back to the skillet/wok and then the reserved half of the soy sauce mixture.
  • Cook, stirring a couple of times, for about one minute more, until sauce is thickened.
  • Serve, over steamed rice if desired.

From All You magazine. I haven't tried this one yet, but it looks good to me. It says you can use honey or orange marmalade in place of apricot jam, or a flavored mustard. And it says it's good with a tablespoon or two of chopped fresh rosemary or thyme. I don't know why recipezaar and the magazin show such a HUGE difference in nutritional information, but the recipe shows: per serving: 310 calories, 13g fat (2g Sat.), 60mg chol., 0g fiber, 21g Pro., 28g Carb., 577mg Sod.
