Ingredients

1 pound Bonless Fresh Pork

Directions

1
Cut the pork shoulder into thin 1/4-inch strips.

Stir in the drained water chestnuts, drained bean sprouts, and sliced Chinese cabbage.
5
Cover and microwave on high (100%) power for 3 to 4 minutes, until the cabbage is crisp-tender.

While the vegetables cook, blend 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon cold water in a small glass measure until smooth.

Carefully drain the juices from the meat and vegetable mixture into the cornstarch mixture; stir well to combine.

Note

Use pork shoulder for best results as it stays tender when cooked in the microwave. Trim excess fat if desired.

Ensure all vegetables are properly drained to prevent the sauce from becoming too watery.

Adjust microwave times based on your appliance's wattage; lower wattage may require slightly longer cooking times.

Serve with steamed white or brown rice to complement the savory orange-soy glaze.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stove.
