StirFried Diced Pork and Chinese Noodles
Serves: 2
Garlic, sherry, hoisin sauce, and almonds flavor diced pork in
this quick Chinese stir-fry. As with most Asian-style recipes, it takes a few minutes to
assemble the ingredients, but the cooking time is very short. In this recipe, the pork is
ready in only only 5 minutes. The secret to this quick-cooked dish is cutting the pork into
1/2-inch pieces. Hoisin sauce is a mixture of soybeans, garlic, chile peppers, and spices. It
can be found in the Asian section of the supermarket. A small amount of dry sherry is called
for in the pork recipe. You can buy small bottles or splits of sherry at most liquor
stores.
