Sunday 1 March
We had a bag of mushrooms from
Findlay Market, a sheaf of asparagus ($1.99/lb. at Kroger's, so you'll see it
frequently among these posts), and no idea what to do with it. Some rummaging in the freezer produced a packet of scrappy pork scaloppine that could be easily cut into strips for a
Chinese-style stir fry.
We marinated the pork in a
Tablespoon of soy sauce, a little less shao
xing wine, and a sprinkle of sugar and white pepper. Then we got our meez together, and you can see the ingredients here.
Note that a smidgen of both the minced onion and grated ginger root went
into the pork marinade too.
The stir fry started on
high-medium heat with the sliced onion, then garlic and ginger, mushrooms
(until they began to brown and soften), asparagus bottoms and then tops, with a
little kosher salt going in with each major addition. Then we melted a little frozen chicken broth in the
pan, covered, and let all the vedge steam until tender.
That went into a covered bowl, and
we scraped the wok and put it on high heat to stir-fry the pork. When it was just done, we poured the vedge
back in, tossed until hot, opened a space in the bottom of the pan, and stirred
and browned a spoonful of oyster sauce in it.
Another toss, and a sprinkle of sesame oil, and we were done.
Just normal food from our Chinese (i.e.
Jewish) kitchen.
