Fern wanted something light and a stir fry usually fills that bill fairly well. Pork tenderloin was on special so I picked up a small one, a red pepper and some mushrooms. This dish takes less than an hour to put together and I start by getting everything out of the fridge, washed and draining. I cut the meat into big bite size pieces, salt and flour it. I also cut into largish pieces the onions, celery and red pepper. Slice up the mushrooms and it's ready to start cooking. I usually start the rice just before chopping the vegetables. (The rice needs to be cooked a day ahead to make fried rice.)
First I sweated the onion a bit then added the pork. I got a good sear all around the pork then started adding the other vegetables. First the carrot, followed by the celery and frozen peas. A splash of chicken stock, 2 teaspoon of oyster sauce (or fish sauce), 2 teaspoons of molasses (optional) and soy sauce. Add the mushrooms and red peppers.
Plate the stir fry over or beside the rice. I added extra soy sauce to my rice. Fern thinks the molasses makes it too sweet but I like the flavour so next time I'll make it without for Fern.
