Peachy Plum Pork Stir Fry

"Easy quick stir fry. Pork tenderloin, some fresh (or you can use frozen peaches) and take advantage of a jarred plum sauce for this quick dish. I love to serve this over brown rice, but use a white or Jasmine rice if you prefer. It takes literally minutes. Try a nice salad with Napa cabbage on the side with a sesame dressing and some fresh red onion. Stir fries are great and take just minutes which is the perfect midweek dinner."

directions

  • First -- prepare all your vegetables because this is a quick stir fry and it doesn't take long at all. So have everything ready.
  • Peaches -- if using frozen peaches which I do when not in season, just thaw. I like to keep them in slices, but if you want them diced that is fine. I like the whole slice when I serve the dish.
  • Rice -- Cook the rice accordingly to directions. Now you can use quick cooking, boil in a bag, or use the traditional method. What ever rice you decide to use, just follow direction for about 6 cups of rice. NOTE: I like to cook my rice in chicken stock for more flavor, but it is not necessary.
  • Sauce -- In a small bowl, add the apple juice, plum sauce, soy sauce and cornstarch.
  • Saute -- In a wok (if you have one) or a large skillet, add the oil and bring to medium high to high heat. Season the pork with salt and pepper on both sides and add it to the pan and saute 2-3 minutes. Add in the garlic, onion, red and green peppers and cook until the vegetables are until crisp tender and the pork is no longer pink.
  • Add in the sauce and cook until the bubbly and slightly thickened. Then add the peaches, scallions and lemon juice and stir to combine. Cook just another minute until the peaches are heated through.
  • Serve -- I like to serve this family style over the rice. Garnish with some fresh cilantro if you want.

<p>Growing up in Michigan, I spent my summers at my cottage in the Northern part up by Traverscity. On a lake, big garden which had all the vegetables you could imagine. My mom taught school, so summers were our vacation time. Gramps and I fished all the time so fresh fish was always on the menu, perch, blue gill, walleye and small and large mouth bass. At age 5 I learned how to clean my own fish and by 10 I was making dinner, canning vegetables and fruits, making pies and fresh breads. Apples fresh picked every fall, strawberries in June and July, Cherries at the Cherry Festival in Traverscity. So fresh foods always were a big part. Mom worked as a teacher during the year so dinner was more traditional with pot roasts, meatloaf, etc, but it seemed we always had fresh fruits and vegetables as part of the meal. Mom also didn't use as many spices as I do, but times were different back then. <br /> <br />So ... My motto is ... There is NO Right and NO Wrong with cooking. So many people thing they have to follow a recipe. But NO ... a recipe is a method and directions to help and teach someone. Cooking is about personal tastes and flavors. I love garlic ... and another person may not. I like heat ... but you may not. Recipes are building blocks, NOT text ground in stone. Use them to make and build on. Even my recipes I don't follow most times --They are a base. That is what cooking is to me. A base of layer upon layer of flavors. <br /> <br />I still dislike using canned soups or packaged gravies/seasoning ... but I admit, I do use them. I have a few recipes that use them. But I try to strive to teach people to use fresh ingredients, they are first ... so much healthier for you ... and second, in the end less expensive. But we all have our moments including me. <br /> <br />So, lets see ... In the past, I have worked as a hostess, bartender, waitress, then a short order cook, salad girl in the kitchen, sort of assistant chef, head chef, co owner of a restaurant ... now a consultant to a catering company/restaurant, I cater myself and I'm a personal chef for a elderly lady. I work doing data entry during the day, and now and then try to have fun which is not very often due to my job(s). <br /> <br />I have a 21 year old who at times is going on 12, aren't they all. Was married and now single and just trying to enjoy life one day at a time. I'm writing a cookbook ... name is still in the works but it is dedicated to those people who never learned, to cook. Single Moms, Dads, or Just Busy Parents. Those individuals that think you can't make a great dinner for not a lot of money. You can entertain on a budget and I want people to know that gourmet tasting food doesn't have to be from a can of soup or a box, and healthy food doesn't come from a drive through. There are some really good meals that people can make which are healthy and will save money but taste amazing. So I guess that is my current goal. We all take short cuts and I have no problem with that - I do it too. I volunteer and make food for the homeless every couple of months, donating my time and money. I usually make soup for them and many times get donations from a local grocery stores, Sams Club, Walmart etc, with broth, and vegetables. It makes my cost very little and well worth every minute I spend. Like anyone, life is always trying to figure things out and do the best we can and have fun some how along the way.</p>
