Directions

  1. Spray a large nonstick wok or high-sided skillet with nonstick spray and set over high heat.
  2. Add the scallions and garlic; stir-fry until softened, about 1 minute.
  3. Add the pork and stir-fry until browned, about 3 minutes.
  4. Transfer the content of the wok to a bowl and set aside.
  5. Return the wok to the heat and add the sugar; cook, stirring, until melted, lightly browned, and caramelized, about 30 seconds.
  6. Slowly stir in the broth.
  7. The caramel may form a hard lump.
  8. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the sugar melts again and the broth boils, about 20 seconds.

  10. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce reduces to a glaze, about 2 minutes.
