Sarasota's Peachy Pork Stir Fry

"This is an easy and quick stir fry with a peach and plum sauce. A few ingredients right from the grocery store, and a few vegetables to chop up; and a great dinner in about 20 minutes. I love this dish served with a light Chinese cabbage salad and simple sesame dressing."

ingredients

  • 1 lb pork tenderloin, cut in thin slices and then in half to make half moons
  • 2 -3 cups cooked rice, if you want, use boil in bags if that works best (I like brown, but basmati or jasmine would also work great too)
  • 1 cup scallion, cut in 1-inch pieces on an angle (just for presentation)
  • 12 green pepper, thin sliced
  • 12 red pepper, thin sliced
  • 1 medium onion, cut in quarters and thin sliced
  • 1 12 cups peaches, you can also use frozen which work well, canned doesn't work (I prefer fresh (2-3 peaches)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon peanut oil (vegetable or canola will work fine too)
  • Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 12 cup apple juice
  • 23 cup chinese plum sauce
  • 2 12 teaspoons cornstarch

directions

  • Prepare -- Get everything ready.Since this is a stir fry it goes quick. Start the rice; prepare all your vegetables and pork; thaw your peaches; and make your sauce.
  • Sauce -- Simply mix the soy, apple juice, plum sauce and corn starch together and set to the side.
  • Stir Fry -- In a hot wok (a large saute pan will work fine if you don't have a wok; or a "wok like" saute pan). Heat to medium high and add the oil. Remember NO olive oil, it has a lower smoking point, meaning the olive oil will burn. Add in the pork and saute just a minute or 2, it goes quick. Then add in the garlic, onion, peppers and cook 3-4 more minutes until the peppers and onion soften. Turn the heat to medium and add in the sauce and mix well. Then the peaches, lemon and scallions and mix to combine and cook just another minute until heated through.
  • Serve -- Serve the pork and peaches over the rice and enjoy! A simple quick stir fry.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>Growing up in Michigan, I spent my summers at my cottage in the Northern part up by Traverscity. On a lake, big garden which had all the vegetables you could imagine. My mom taught school, so summers were our vacation time. Gramps and I fished all the time so fresh fish was always on the menu, perch, blue gill, walleye and small and large mouth bass. At age 5 I learned how to clean my own fish and by 10 I was making dinner, canning vegetables and fruits, making pies and fresh breads. Apples fresh picked every fall, strawberries in June and July, Cherries at the Cherry Festival in Traverscity. So fresh foods always were a big part. Mom worked as a teacher during the year so dinner was more traditional with pot roasts, meatloaf, etc, but it seemed we always had fresh fruits and vegetables as part of the meal. Mom also didn't use as many spices as I do, but times were different back then. <br /> <br />So ... My motto is ... There is NO Right and NO Wrong with cooking. So many people thing they have to follow a recipe. But NO ... a recipe is a method and directions to help and teach someone. Cooking is about personal tastes and flavors. I love garlic ... and another person may not. I like heat ... but you may not. Recipes are building blocks, NOT text ground in stone. Use them to make and build on. Even my recipes I don't follow most times --They are a base. That is what cooking is to me. A base of layer upon layer of flavors. <br /> <br />I still dislike using canned soups or packaged gravies/seasoning ... but I admit, I do use them. I have a few recipes that use them. But I try to strive to teach people to use fresh ingredients, they are first ... so much healthier for you ... and second, in the end less expensive. But we all have our moments including me. <br /> <br />So, lets see ... In the past, I have worked as a hostess, bartender, waitress, then a short order cook, salad girl in the kitchen, sort of assistant chef, head chef, co owner of a restaurant ... now a consultant to a catering company/restaurant, I cater myself and I'm a personal chef for a elderly lady. I work doing data entry during the day, and now and then try to have fun which is not very often due to my job(s). <br /> <br />I have a 21 year old who at times is going on 12, aren't they all. Was married and now single and just trying to enjoy life one day at a time. I'm writing a cookbook ... name is still in the works but it is dedicated to those people who never learned, to cook. Single Moms, Dads, or Just Busy Parents. Those individuals that think you can't make a great dinner for not a lot of money. You can entertain on a budget and I want people to know that gourmet tasting food doesn't have to be from a can of soup or a box, and healthy food doesn't come from a drive through. There are some really good meals that people can make which are healthy and will save money but taste amazing. So I guess that is my current goal. We all take short cuts and I have no problem with that - I do it too. I volunteer and make food for the homeless every couple of months, donating my time and money. I usually make soup for them and many times get donations from a local grocery stores, Sams Club, Walmart etc, with broth, and vegetables. It makes my cost very little and well worth every minute I spend. Like anyone, life is always trying to figure things out and do the best we can and have fun some how along the way.</p>
