Stir-Fried Pork with Napa Cabbage

yield: Makes 4 servings

active time: 45 min

total time: 45 min

Ingredients

• 1 (1-lb) pork tenderloin
• 2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 4 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar (not seasoned)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 lb Napa cabbage, quartered lengthwise, cored, and cut crosswise into 1 1/2-inch pieces (10 cups)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped peeled fresh ginger
• 1/4 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves
• Accompaniment: rice

Directions

             Trim off and discard any silver skin from pork (do not trim fat). Cut pork across grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices, then toss with 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 2 teaspoons cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon sugar in a bowl.

           Stir together vinegar, salt, remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce, and remaining 1/2 tablespoon sugar in a small bowl.

           Stir together water and remaining 2 teaspoons cornstarch in a cup.

Rinse cabbage in a large colander. Tap colander lightly, then transfer cabbage to a large bowl with water still clinging to leaves.

            Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over high heat until hot but not smoking, then add pork in 1 layer as quickly as possible. Cook, undisturbed, until pork begins to brown, about 3 minutes, then turn over and cook, undisturbed, until browned but still pink in center, about 1 minute more. Transfer pork and any juices to a plate. Do not clean skillet.

            Heat remaining tablespoon oil in skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then stir-fry garlic and ginger 30 seconds. Add half of cabbage and stir-fry over high heat until cabbage is wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in remaining cabbage (skillet will be very full), along with any water in bowl, and soy sauce mixture, then cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until all of cabbage is tender, 4 to 5 minutes.

           Add pork, along with any juices accumulated on plate, and bring to a boil. Stir cornstarch mixture, then pour into skillet and boil, stirring, until sauce is slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Season with salt, then serve sprinkled with cilantro.

5.  Shape the dough into approximately 40 balls and place each into an ungreased mini muffin pan. 
6. Bake at 375 degrees for 8 minutes.
7.  Remove from oven and immediately press a mini peanut butter cup into each ball.
