Here's a generic recipe. It uses steaming for the veggies because that method is more forgiving for timing the "unknown."
1 pound pork
1 - 2" of fresh ginger, shredded or finely chopped
1 - 2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 tsp vinegar
1 Tbs soy sauce
1 Tbs oil
Cut the pork into whatever size pieces you want. Mix the ingredients above. Let stand for 0 - 30 minutes.
Sauce
2 - 4 Tbs chicken broth -- depends on how many veggies you use
1 Tbs soy sauce
1 Tbs vinegar or 1 Tbs wine
1 packet Splenda
1 tsp sesame oil (Kadoya or another Japanese brand is best)
1 Tbs sriracha sauce or 1 tsp red pepper flakes (if you like heat)
Mix together and put by the stove.
Veggies:
This is up to you. I like a combination of cabbage cut into shreds, thinly sliced celery, broccoli florets. Also good are sweet pepper strips. Use as much as you like. I like a lot of veggies.
Additional Veggie: 2 - 4 green onions either sliced into rounds or cut into 1 - 2" lengths
Cooking:
If you have a steamer, great. If not, get a large pot that you can put a colander in but still have a few inches at the bottom so the colander is out of the water. Put a couple of inches of water in the bottom of the steamer pot, and turn it on high. When the water is boiling rapidly, put the steamer or colander into the pot and cover with a lid or a plate. Steam *exactly* 3 minutes for cooked yet crunchy veggies. Remove the steamer/colander from the pot and put to the side.
Heat a skillet or wok until hot on high heat. Turn the temperature down to medium high, add several tablespoons of vegetable oil (peanut oil is best, and can be found at Wally World). When the oil is "shimmery", add the meat mixture and stir fry until almost completely cooked. Add the green onions, stir fry another 30 seconds. Add the veggies and sauce, stir, turn off the heat, stir a bit more.
Eat!
