Ingredients

Sauce
  • 1/4 cup plum jam See Note 1
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 1/4 cup Gochujang paste
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce low sodium, if desired
  • 1 tbsp ginger paste
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
Pork Stir Fry
  • 1.5 lb boneless pork loin chops cut into 1/4” strips (See Note 2)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce low sodium, if desired
  • 6 green onions sliced on diagonal into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 carrots julienned into strips
  • 1/2 cup dry roasted peanuts

Instructions

Sauce
    Cup of Yum
  1. To a medium sized bowl, add plum jam, hoisin, gochujang, soy sauce, ginger and garlic. In a separate small cup or dish, mix together the vinegar and cornstarch to make a slurry, then whisk it into the jam mixture. Set aside.
Pork
  1. Slice the pork into 1/4” strips and toss with tablespoon of cornstarch and soy sauce in a bowl. Set aside for 5 minutes.
Cook
  1. Over high heat, add oil to the wok or skillet and wait a minute for it to get hot. Add pork and toss to cook, stirring to quickly brown on all sides.
  2. Add the vegetables and cook for 3 minutes, or until tender.
  3. Add the stir fry sauce and peanuts; Cook for 3 more minutes, stirring frequently, as sauce will thicken.
  4. Serve as is, or over steamed jasmine rice. Garnish with more peanuts and sliced green onions if desired.

Notes

  • I use Smucker’s red plum jam.
  • Any cut of boneless pork may be substituted for boneless pork loin chops, such as pork tenderloin or pork shoulder. Or, feel free to use pork belly if you'd like.
