Potato Pork Stir-Fry
Description
By Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough, authors of "Cooking for Two"
Chinese stir-fried dishes can be labor intensive, but pre-shredded, packaged potatoes will save the day. Look for the
plain, unseasoned variety in your grocer's refrigerated section.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tablespoons peanut oil
- 2 medium scallions, sliced
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes or to taste
- 1/4 pound ground pork
- 1 small red bell pepper (about 5 ounces), cored, seeded, and diced
- 1 1/2 cups broccoli florets (about 3 ounces)
- 2 cups packaged refrigerated or frozen and thawed shredded potatoes (about 3/4 pound)
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
Preparation
Heat wok or large skillet over high heat. Swirl in oil; add
scallions, ginger, garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes,
then stir-fry 15 seconds. Add pork and cook, tossing and
stirring, until cooked through and lightly browned, about 2
minutes. Toss in bell pepper and broccoli; stir-fry 2
minutes. Sprinkle potatoes over vegetables and pork; cook
without stirring 30 seconds. Gently but thoroughly toss,
then continue cooking 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Pour in rice vinegar and soy sauce; cook, stirring, for 20
seconds, until sauce bubbles. Serve immediately.
