1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon cooking oil
2 medium onions, cut into thin wedges
2 stalks celery, thinly bias-sliced (1 cup)
3 cups broccoli flowerets
2 cups hot cooked rice

1. Trim fat from pork. Partially freeze pork. Thinly slice across

tablespoons soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic. Cover and

tablespoons soy sauce, cornstarch, sugar, and crushed red pepper. Set
sauce aside.

3. Pour cooking oil into a wok or large skillet. (Add more oil as
necessary during cooking.) Preheat over medium-high heat. Stir-fry
onions and celery in hot oil for 1 minute. Add broccoli; stir-fry for
3
to 4 minutes or until the vegetables are crisp-tender. Remove
vegetables
from the wok.

4. Add pork mixture to the hot wok. Stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes or
until
cooked through. Push pork from the center of the wok.

5. Stir sauce. Add sauce to the center of the wok. Cook and stir until
sauce is thickened and bubbly. Return cooked vegetables to the wok.
Stir
all ingredients together to coat with sauce. Cover and cook for 1
minute
more or until heated through. Serve immediately with hot cooked rice.
