From: Pampered Chef: It's Good For You

OUR RATING: LOVE IT!!

Oh the flavor! I love something that is packed with flavor! This did not disappoint! We were all singing my praises while we devoured this meal! :) This one DEFINITELY makes the regular list! Delicious and as a bonus it was super quick and easy to make! ENJOY! 

INGREDIENTS:

• 2/3 c. Soy Sauce
• 1/4 c. Packed Brown Sugar
• 1 Tbsp. Cornstarch
• 2 tsp. peeled, finely chopped Fresh Ginger root
• 2 Garlic cloves, pressed or minced
• 1/4 tsp. Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
• 1 lb. boneless Pork Loin Chops, cut into 1/8" strips
• 1 medium Red Bell Pepper, cut in 1/4" strips
• 6 oz. fresh Snow Peas
• 1 bunch Green Onions with tops, cut into 1" pieces
• 1 tsp. sesame oil, divided (I used olive oil & it was fabulous)
• 1 (8 oz) can Bamboo Shoots, drained

DIRECTIONS:

• In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar and cornstarch; whisk until well blended. 
• Add ginger root, garlic & red pepper flakes. 
• Cut pork into 1/8" strips (if you place the meat in the freezer for a bit before slicing it will make it easier to get the really thin cut without mutilating the meat :) ). 
• Add pork to soy sauce mixture (either in covered bowl or gallon size Ziploc bag). Refrigerate for 1 hour. 
• Heat 1/2 tsp. oil in skillet over high heat until hot. Remove pork from marinade. Set marinade aside for later. Place pork in skillet and stir fry for 1-2 min. or until pork is no longer pink. Remove from skillet and keep warm. 
• Heat remaining 1/2 tsp. oil in same skillet. Add bell pepper, snow peas and green onions. Stir fry 2-3 minutes or until veggies are crisp-tender. Return pork to skillet. Stir in reserved marinade and bamboo shoots. Bring to boil. Cook and stir 1 minute or until sauce is thickened. 
• Serve over rice or noodles.
