Ginger Pork and Broccoli Stir Fry Ingredients

This recipe has two parts: a cooking sauce (or marinade) and pork and vegetables.

For the marinade

• Orange juice
• Soy sauce
• Cornstarch
• Sweet: either sugar or a natural alternative like honey or maple syrup
• Ginger: Minced fresh ginger has the best flavor but you can also substitute ground ginger if that is more convenient.
• Garlic cloves
• Crushed red pepper flakes for that hint of spicy

For the pork stir fry

• Pork tenderloin, cut into bite-size pieces (or small strips if you prefer)
• Broccoli florets
• Celery ribs diagonally sliced
• Yellow (or summer) squash, sliced into half-moon shapes. You can also substitute zucchini if preffered.
• Cooking oil, like avocado oil.

How to Make the Stir Fry

As mentioned, this recipe has two parts. To prep, begin by cutting the pork and whisking the marinade together. Then add the pork to the cooking sauce and let it sit while preparing and cooking the vegetables. Here are the steps:

Step 1: Make the marinade and trim the pork

In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch and orange juice until smooth. Then whisk in the soy sauce, sugar, ginger, garlic, and pepper flakes; set aside.

Trim the pork tenderloin and crosswise into short pieces and then cut into bite size. Add the pieces to the stir-fry sauce and let marinate while preparing the vegetables.

Step 2: Cook the broccoli and celery

Heat the wok or large skillet and add 1 tablespoon oil. Once shimmery, stir-fry the broccoli and celery for about 3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Remove the vegetables to a plate.

Step 3: Cook the pork and finish the dish

Add a bit more oil to the skillet and heat. Transfer the pork pieces with cooking sauce and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring often, until the pork is golden and firm.

Return the broccoli and celery to the skillet, add the squash, and cook for another 1-2 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and the pork is cooked through.

How to Serve

This simple stir fry meal is delicious when served over steamed rice, (brown rice or white rice) and garnished with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley. Or, you can serve it over your favorite grain like quinoa.

Kitchen Tools Needed:

All you need is a large wok or skillet. The recipe uses only one skillet for the entire meal, making it a delicious and easy one-pot recipe! A while is helpful, and you will need a bowl large enough for the marinade and pork to rest in.
