Stir-Fried Pork with Snow Peas and Shiitake Mushrooms

Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground pork (Preferably not extremely lean; break into very small pieces while cooking.)
• 8 oz Snow peas (Trimmed.)
• 8 oz Fresh shiitake mushrooms (Stems trimmed and caps sliced.)
• 3 cloves Garlic (Minced.)
• 1 tbsp Fresh ginger (Finely grated or minced.)
• 3 tbsp Soy sauce (Use regular or reduced-sodium soy sauce.)
• 2 tbsp Hoisin sauce (For the salty-sweet sauce.)
• 1 tbsp Rice vinegar (Added at the end.)
• 2 tsp Toasted sesame oil (For seasoning the stir-fry.)
• 2 tbsp Neutral cooking oil (Such as grapeseed, canola, or vegetable oil.)
• 1.5 cup Jasmine rice (Dry rice, steamed separately for serving.)
• Chili-garlic sauce or Sriracha (To serve, optional.)

Steps

1. 1

   Trim the snow peas and shiitake mushrooms; remove and discard the tough mushroom stems, then slice the caps. Mince the garlic and ginger. In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and toasted sesame oil; set the sauce aside.

2. 2

   Steam the jasmine rice according to the package directions so it is ready when the stir-fry is finished.

3. 3

   Heat a large wok or 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the neutral oil and swirl to coat the pan.

4. 4

   Add the ground pork. Cook over medium heat, breaking it into fine bits with a wooden spoon, until cooked through and some pieces are crisped and caramelized, about 7 to 10 minutes. Do not use high heat; the pork should brown gradually rather than scorch.

5. 5

   Add the garlic and ginger to the pork. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds, until fragrant but not browned.

6. 6

   Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms soften and begin to brown, about 3 to 4 minutes.

7. 7

   Add the snow peas. Stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes, until bright green and crisp-tender.

8. 8

   Pour in the sauce mixture. Toss continuously for 1 to 2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits, until the pork and vegetables are evenly coated and the sauce is glossy.

9. 9

   Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve immediately over steamed jasmine rice, with chili-garlic sauce or Sriracha on the side.
