Bok Choy with White Pork
- 1/4 pound pork shoulder boneless
- 1 pound bok choy
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger root minced fresh
- 3 tablespoons peanut oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon sherry dry
- 1 x cornstarch paste
- 1 teaspoon monosodium glutamate optional
- Slice pork against the grain into thin strips about 2" by 1/2".
- Seperate outer fleshy stalks from center flower stalk of bok choy.
- Use center stalk in another stir-fry dish or in soup.
- Wash outer stalks, and diagonally slice into 3" pieces.
- The meatier ends of the stalks should be sliced a little thinner.
- Swirl oil around in very hot wok.
- When oil begins to smoke, add pork and stir-fry until meat is seared (about 1 minute).
- Add bok choy, garlic and ginger.
- Stir-fry until green leaves are bright and shrivelled, stirring and tossing constantly so stalks won't burn.
- Add salt, stock, sugar and dry sherry.
- When liquid begins to boil, cover wok and steam for 30 seconds or less on high heat, until stalks are tender but still crisp.
- Push ingredients up side of wok; dribble cornstarch paste into liquid and stir to make a light sauce.
- Recombine and add MSG.
- Serve immediately.
