Ingredients

  • 2 cups uncooked instant brown rice
  • 2 1/4 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon olive or canola oil
  • 2 medium green onions, cut into 1-inch pieces (1/4 cup)
  • 1 lb boneless center-cut pork loin, cut in half lengthwise, then thinly sliced crosswise
  • 1 lb fresh asparagus spears, cut into 2 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons dry white wine or orange juice
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 3/4 teaspoon grated gingerroot or 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

    Cook rice in water as directed on package, omitting butter and salt.

    Meanwhile, in 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onions and pork; cook 4 to 6 minutes, turning pork occasionally, until pork is browned. Add asparagus and bell pepper; cook 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until asparagus is crisp-tender.

    In small bowl, mix remaining ingredients, stirring until cornstarch is dissolved.

    Reduce heat to low. Stir soy sauce mixture into pork mixture; cook until slightly thickened. Serve over rice.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Using brown rice instead of white rice adds about five times the amount of fiber to your diet because the bran is not milled away during processing--it's a great way to up your daily fiber.
