Ingredients:
1 pound pork tenderloin, cut into 1/2-inch pieces |
2 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar |
kosher salt |
2 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce |
1 tablespoon cornstarch |
3 tablespoons ketchup |
3 tablespoons sugar, plus a pinch |
3 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil |
3 cloves garlic, minced |
2 carrots, thinly sliced |
3 scallions, cut into 1/2-inch pieces |
3 cups snow peas, cut in half |
Directions:
1. Toss the pork with 1/2 tablespoon vinegar and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Mix the remaining 2 tablespoons vinegar, the soy sauce, cornstarch, ketchup, 3 tablespoons sugar, 1/3 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon salt in another bowl.
2. Heat 2 tablespoons peanut oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the pork and slowly stir until it turns mostly opaque, about 2 minutes. Remove the pork with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate. Discard the oil and wipe out the skillet.
3. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon peanut oil in the skillet, then stir-fry the garlic with a pinch each of salt and sugar, 15 seconds. Add the carrots and scallions and stir-fry until crisp-tender, 2 minutes. (Add a little water if the garlic starts to stick to the skillet.) Add the pork, snow peas and soy sauce mixture; stir until the pork is cooked through and the sauce is thickened, about 3 minutes.
