Pork Saute with Vegetables
Ingredients
-
4 cups cooked angel hair pasta
-
1 tsp peanut oil
-
1 pound boneless pork (about 2 thick-cut chops), cut into 1-inch cubes
-
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
-
1/4 cup water
-
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar (red wine vinegar is OK)
-
2 tbsp sugar
-
1 piece fresh ginger (about 1 to 2 inches), peeled and thinly sliced, to make about
1 tablespoon
-
3 to 4 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
-
3 cups assorted mushrooms (shiitake, oyster, portobello, or ordinary white mushrooms)
-
2 cups snow peas, ends trimmed
Directions
In a large pot, cook pasta according to package directions.
Meanwhile, heat oil over medium heat in a large skillet big enough so the pork fits
on 1 layer. Brown pork on one side, then turn to brown other side, about 3 minutes
in all. Sprinkle ginger and garlic over pork. Mix soy sauce, water, vinegar, and sugar
and pour over all. Bring to a boil.
Cover and turn heat to low. Cook 5 minutes and add mushrooms. Cook the pork mixture
5 minutes more and stir to coat meat and mushrooms with sauce. Layer snow peas on
top. Cook 2 more minutes, or just until snow peas are bright green.
Once the pasta is cooked, strain from the water. Remove the pork mixture from heat
and pour over angel hair pasta.
