Spicy Honey Orange Sliced Pork

Still another quick and easy Asian inspired dinner idea today. I have a bit of a fondness for sweet and spicy dishes and this one does not disappoint.You can serve this over plain steamed rice if you prefer but I love serving it over my favorite skinny Chinese noodles.


Serves 4 - 6

4 tbsp peanut oil
salt and pepper to season
1 tsp Chinese five spice powder
2  pounds pork loin or pork tenderloin, very thinly sliced


Heat peanut oil in a very hot wok. Season the thinly sliced pork with the salt, pepper and five spice powder. Quickly stir fry the seasoned pork in small batches about a 1/2 pound at a time. This will take only a minute or two per batch at very high heat. Do not overcook the pork or it will be too dry. Set the pork aside and to the wok add:

3 cloves minced garlic
3 tbsp peanut oil

When the garlic is softened but not browned add

2 cups orange juice
pinch salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tsp sesame oil
2 tsp chili paste or crushed chilis
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp grated fresh ginger

Simmer until the volume of the liquid is reduced by half. Add:

1/2 cup hoisin sauce
1/4 cup honey

Simmer for an additional few minutes until the sauce is thickened and very bubbly. Add the cooked pork along with:

1 small red pepper, chopped
2 oranges peeled and sectioned into wedges

Stir fry until the chicken is heated thoroughly; only a minute or two. Serve over steamed rice or Chinese noodles.
