How to Make It

Step 1

Cut pork into 2 x 1/4-inch-wide strips. Combine pork and 1 tablespoon cornstarch in a bowl; toss well. Combine remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch, broth, and next 4 ingredients (through salt).

Step 2

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add pork to pan; sauté 3 minutes or until desired degree of doneness; stir frequently. Remove pork from pan.

Step 3

Heat oil in pan. Add carrots, 1/4 cup water, ginger, and garlic to pan; cook 1 1/2 minutes, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Return pork to pan. Stir in broth mixture; bring to a boil. Cook 30 seconds. Stir in 1/3 cup onions. Serve immediately. Garnish with sliced onions, if desired.

Very strong orange flavor, and super quick and easy to make once the pork was cut in strips and the carrots julienned.

I thought it was ok, but needed to be sweeter. I added a little sugar and a squeeze of lemon juice and it helped, but still not what I expected....

Easy and basic stir-fry that is great just as is. But can be changed up to taste with different match-stick veggies like snow peas and carrots or peppers and carrots. Liked your suggestion of nuts, used unsalted peanuts.

An outstanding recipe for everyday use, thrifty and delicious. My children love it. I have enjoyed the recipe unaltered, and I also sometimes make it with the addition of many vegetables to "stretch" it. It goes particularly well with a couple of orange peppers and with mushrooms, but I've also had good luck adding cabbage, celery and bean sprouts.
