Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup (75 mL) sodium-reduced chicken broth
  • 3 tbsp (45 mL) oyster sauce
  • 2 tbsp (25 mL) soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) cornstarch
  • 1-1/2 tsp (7 mL) Asian chili garlic sauce
  • 4 tsp (20 mL) canola oil
  • 12 oz (375 g) Ontario Pork Tenderloin, cut into strips
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 Ontario Onion, halved and thinly sliced
  • 2 tsp (10 mL) minced gingerroot
  • 3 Ontario Carrots, thinly sliced diagonally
  • 2 cups (500 mL) thinly sliced Ontario Green Cabbage
  • 2 cups (500 mL) quartered Ontario Mushrooms
  • 2 cups (500 mL) Ontario Bean Sprouts
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced diagonally (optional)

Instructions

In bowl, combine broth, oyster sauce, soy sauce, cornstarch and chili garlic sauce; set aside.

In large deep nonstick skillet, heat 2 tsp (10 mL) of the oil over medium-high heat; stir-fry pork for 2 minutes or until browned but still pink inside. Transfer to plate.

Add remaining oil to pan; stir-fry garlic, onion and ginger for 1 minute. Add carrots, cabbage, mushrooms and 2 tbsp (25 mL) water; cover and cook for 3 minutes or until tender-crisp, stirring halfway through. Return pork and any accumulated juices and bean sprouts to skillet. Stir sauce mixture and add to skillet; stir-fry until boiling and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with green onions, if using.
