SESAME PORK STIR FRY

 

The original recipe came from Yummy magazine in July 2010. I tweaked it a bit. I added Sambal Oelek, Soy sauce instead of teriyaki sauce, double the amount of brown sugar, bell pepper, and juice of 1 lemon, and instead of steamed Chinese broccoli, I served it with steamed pechay.

Ingredients:
500 grams of pork, sliced into thin strips
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp brown sugar
juice of 1 lemon
3 cloves garlic, crushed
½ sachet maggi magic sarap
2 tsp Sambal Oelek (Thai Heritage brand)
1 red bell pepper, sliced thinly
1 tsp sesame oil
1½ tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted
cooked rice, and steamed pechay to serve

Instructions:
Combine pork, soy sauce, sugar, garlic, lemon juice, sambal Oelek, magic sarap, and sesame oil in a large bowl. Marinate for 10 minutes. Drain the marinade from the pork, and reserve the marinade. Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan; stir-fry pork, in batches, until browned. Add reserved marinade, bell pepper, and pork to the wok, and bring to a boil. Reduce the sauce, Add sesame seeds, and stir-fry again. Serve with rice and pechay.
