Ingredients

  • 3/4 pound pork tenderloin, silver skin removed
  • 3 tablespoons dark soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup oyster sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon dark sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil
  • 1 medium onion, julienned
  • 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 12 ounces broccoli florets or Chinese broccoli, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1/2 cup roasted cashew nuts
  • Steamed Rice, as accompaniment
  • Green onions, thinly sliced on the bias, garnish

Directions

Using a sharp knife, slice the pork tenderloin into 1/4-inch thick slices across the grain. Cut each slice crosswise at 1/4-inch intervals so that you have long thin pieces of meat. Transfer pork to a small bowl, add 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce, the rice wine, and toss until thoroughly combined. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

In a small bowl combine 1/4 cup of the chicken broth, the 2 remaining tablespoons of soy sauce, the cornstarch, oyster sauce, sesame oil and crushed red pepper and set aside.

Heat a wok over high heat until hot. Add the cooking oil and, when hot, add the pork. Stir-fry until no longer pink, about 1 minute. Transfer the pork to a plate and cover loosely with aluminum foil to keep warm. Add the onion and garlic to the wok and cook until slightly softened and fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the broccoli and remaining 1/2 cup of chicken stock and cook, stirring, until the broccoli is tender-crisp, about 3 minutes. Add the soy sauce mixture and cook for 1 minute, or until the sauce is thickened. Return the pork to the wok and add the cashews.

Toss to thoroughly combine and serve immediately with rice, garnished with the green onions.

    Even though I did not have all the ingredients, it was still very good. I switched the broccoli for snow peas and I did not use oyster sauce.
    I boiled up some linguini and added it to the dish at the end, yummy!!

    Just made this last night and it was very tasty! My husband said it reminded him of some of the best Chinese takeout he's had, a place he use to go to with his mom. I added some extra pepper flakes because we like it spicy and I reduced the cook time of the broccoli from 3 minutes to 2 minutes because we like our broccoli crunchy.

    Way too salty. I didn't notice it was an Emeril recipe, I would have skipped it as I have never had luck with any of his recipes.
