Vibrant green and yellow vegetables make this a colourful dish. Look for roasted cashews in tins on supermarket shelves. Serve over steamed rice.

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp sodium-reduced soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp dry sherry or sodium-reduced chicken broth
  • 4 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp sherry vinegar or cider vinegar
  • 1 lb pork tenderloins, thinly sliced and cut into 1/2-inch(1cm) wide strips
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp grated gingerroot
  • 1 tsp finely grated orange rind
  • 3/4 tsp hot pepper flakes
  • 1 sweet yellow pepper or sweet red pepper, cut into thin strips
  • 3 cups snow peas, (about 9 oz/275 g), trimmed and cut in half diagonally
  • 3/4 cup roasted cashews, whole
  • 1/4 cup sodium-reduced chicken broth
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Preparation

In bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sherry, cornstarch, sugar, sesame oil and vinegar. Add pork, tossing to coat; let stand for 20 minutes.

In wok or large nonstick skillet, heat half of the oil over high heat; stir-fry garlic, ginger, orange rind and hot pepper flakes until fragrant, about 15 seconds.

Add yellow pepper; stir-fry until softened, about 2 minutes.

Add snow peas and cashews; stir-fry until snow peas are tender-crisp, about 2 minutes. Transfer to bowl.

Add remaining oil to wok; stir-fry pork until browned, about 3 minutes.

Add broth and snow pea mixture; stir-fry until thickened and pork is no longer pink, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle with salt.
