Difficulty: easy Prep Time: Five Minutes Total Time: 30 Minutes or Less

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 large pork chops (your favorite kind), sliced thinly
1 cup carrot matchsticks
3 stalks of asparagus, sliced ¼” thick diagonally
1 celery stalk, sliced thinly
½ green & red pepper, sliced 1/8” thick
8 button mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 small onion, sliced ¼” thick
2 tbsp cornstarch (for coating pork)
Sauce:
3/4 cup chicken stock
3 tsp brown sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce
5 tbsp rice wine vinegar
1 tsp minced garlic
1 1/2 tbsp. cornstarch
3/4 tsp dried chili flakes
Salt & Pepper

Heat oil over high heat. Coat pork in cornstarch. Add to hot oil and sauté quickly so as to evenly, lightly brown the meat. Working in order of hardest to softest vegetables, add each to the pan and sauté momentarily before adding another. Mix together sauce ingredients in a bowl. Add to hot pan and shake/stir vigorously to allow sauce to thicken evenly, as this will happen quickly. Add water if you feel it’s too thick. Season & serve with your choice of side.
