madbakerLast week's Resolution Recipe, made last week but lazily not posted until now: Northern Chinese Pork.
2 pork steaks
2 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp dry sherry
1/2 tsp grated fresh ginger (I used... more.)
1 onion
2 stalks celery
2 carrots
1 clove garlic, chopped (I used... substantially more.)
chili paste
1 Tbsp cornstarch, dissolved in water or broth
oil
Debone the pork and cube. Marinate in the soy sauce, sherry, and ginger. In the meantime, peel and chop the onion, chop the celery, and grate the carrots coarsely.
Heat oil and drain the pork. Fry the pork with the garlic for 5-6 minutes. Remove the meat. Add the veg and stir-fry until barely cooked (still crisp). Add the pork back in along with the chili paste. Thicken with the cornstarch. Serve over rice.
What worked: It was pretty good.
What didn't: More ginger needed. Would have been better in the wok. Not that exciting, but different from our usual stir fries.
Will I make it again? Probably, although not regularly.
