Directions

  • In a large cast-iron skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over high heat. For 1 minute, stir-fry the bok choy stems, then add the bok choy leaves, mushrooms, onion, bell pepper, celery, cucumber, and bamboo shoots. Season with salt and continue to stir-fry for 2 minutes. Set aside after removing from the skillet.

  • In the skillet, heat the remaining 1 tbsp of oil. Remove the pork from the marinade and discard it. Stir-fry the pork in the skillet for 2 minutes, or until it is cooked through. Whisk in the reserved vegetables and broth mixture. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat. Garnish with scallions if desired. Over fried rice, serve.
