Oriental Pork


I was going to go to my brother's place for dinner with a friend tonight, but my niece got sick. I'm sad I missed out...but I had to come up with something else. After making an inventory on my ingredients I decided on cooking some pork chop steaks into an oriental dish. This was inspired by mom's Oriental Beef/Chicken.

Oriental Pork

Pork chop steaks (that's what I call the thick cut), cut in strips
Garlic
Onion
Bell Pepper
Sugar Snap Peas
Rice, cooked

Marinade:
Soy Sauce
Onion Powder
Garlic Powder
Cayenne Pepper
Ginger Powder
Pepper

Marinade the pork strips in the marinade sauce. Saute the garlic, onion and bell pepper. Add the pork till all strips are browned, add sugar snap peas. Cover and cook thoroughly. Serve over rice.

As you can tell, I have no measurements. That's because I was improvising. So, just add everything to taste. If I had pineapples, I would have added a little of the pineapple juice to the marinade and served the pineapple on the side. This can be a quick meal if you prep the ingredients early in the day. Also, you can use chicken or beef, and you can mix up the vegetables you have on hand. This is basically a stir fry. And...if you want to be adventurous you can try to eat with chopsticks.
