Szechuan Pork and Veggies

I love, love, love Asian food. But you can not eat very healthy with all the oil and huge portions of rice they give you at restaurants. Therefore, mostly when I eat Asian, I make it at home. Luckily, most groceries carry a decent assortment of sauces to replicate those spicy, complex Asian flavors.

Szechuan Pork and Veggies

3/4 lb. boneless pork chop, trimmed of fat and cut into strips

3/4 lb. or about 3 c. of fresh broccoli cut into small pieces

10 white button mushrooms, sliced

1/2 yellow pepper, cut into strips

1/2 red pepper, cut into strips

1/2 small yellow onion, sliced

2 tbsp. lite soy sauce

1-2 tbsp. Szechaun sauce

Serves 2 - 380 calories each

In a large saute pan add peppers, broccoli and onion to about 1/2 c. water and a few tbsp. of soy sauce. You may need to cover the veggies for a few minutes to steam them. Once the veggies are cooked mostly all the way through, remove lid and allow the sauces to evaporate. Next add in raw strips of pork, Szechaun sauce and mushrooms. Stir frequently and cook thoroughly. 

You can certainly add brown or white rice to this if you want.
