  • Total 46 min
  • Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 pounds pork boneless loin or leg
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 2 medium celery stalks, cut into 1/4-inch diagonal slices (1 cup)
  • 1 small red or green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 cups bean sprouts (4 ounces)
  • 4 ounces fresh mushrooms (1 1/4 cups)
  • 2 cups cooked vermicelli, (4 ounces uncooked)
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

Steps

  • 1
    Trim excess fat from pork. Cut pork into strips, 2x1x1/8 inch. Toss pork, cornstarch, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, the salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate 20 minutes.
  • 2
    Heat wok or 12-inch skillet over high heat. Add oil; rotate wok to coat side. Add pork, garlic and red pepper; stir-fry about 5 minutes or until pork is no longer pink.
  • 3
    Add celery and bell pepper; stir-fry 2 minutes. Add bean sprouts and mushrooms; stir-fry 2 minutes.
  • 4
    Add vermicelli, green onions and 1 tablespoon soy sauce; toss about 2 minutes or until thoroughly mixed.

  • Vermicelli—very thin spaghetti—was actually the original pasta for spaghetti and meatballs. The long, slender noodles are ideal for lighter sauces and soups.
  • You don’t have to hunt down vermicelli to make this recipe a success. Spaghetti works equally well.
