Red-Hot Pork Stir-Fry
- 1 7-ounce box quick-cooking white and wild rice, seasoning packet discarded
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (lowest sodium available)
- 2 tablespoons dry sherry
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 pound pork tenderloin, all visible fat discarded, cut into strips about 2 inches long and 1/4 inch wide
- 1 pound fresh prewashed spinach, large stems discarded
- 1/4 cup water
- Prepare the rice using the package directions, omitting the salt, margarine, and seasoning packet.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sherry, sugar, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes until the cornstarch is completely dissolved.
- Set aside.
- Heat a nonstick wok or large nonstick skillet over high heat for about 1 minute, or until very hot.
- Cook the pork for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Add the soy sauce mixture.
- Cook for about 1 minute, or until the pork is cooked through and the sauce is thickened, stirring constantly.
- Remove from the heat.
- Arrange the rice on a platter, leaving room for the spinach on the outer edge.
- Spoon the pork and sauce over the rice.
- Cover the platter with aluminum foil to keep warm.
- Return the wok with any pan residue to high heat.
- Add about half the spinach and half the water.
- Cook for about 1 minute, or until the spinach is just limp, stirring constantly.
- Arrange around the outer edge of the rice.
- Re-cover the platter.
- Repeat with the remaining spinach and water.
- Instead of the pork, use 1 pound thinly sliced chicken tenders or boneless, skinless chicken breasts, all visible fat discarded.
