Prep (45 minutes)
- Slice PORK into strips about 1/8 inch thick, 1/4 inch
wide and 1-1/2 inches long. Cut with the grain so the strips hold
together.
- Mix Marinade Items into the pork and let marinate for 20 minutes
to a half hour, turning once or twice. Then set in a strainer to drain
thoroughly, reserving the liquid to add to the sauce mix.
- Strip leaves and tender tops from GAI LAN. Cut leaves into
fairly large pieces. Slice stems (including leaf stems) on a shallow
diagonal starting at about 1/2 inch at the big end and increasing to
about 1-1/2 inches at the thin end. Keep leaves and stems separate.
- Slice Shallots very thin.
- Crush GARLIC and chop fine. Slice CHILIS very thin.
Mix.
- Mix together Sauce items with the reserved Marinade.
- Squeeze LIME JUICE.
Run (10 minutes)
- In a wok or spacious sauté pan heat Oil and fry
Shallots until they start to color.
- Spread out shallots and spread drained Pork over them. Let sit
for a minute, the add the Garlic mix and stir it all up. Fry
stirring heat until pork loses all its raw color,
- Stir in Gai Lan Stems. Fry stirring over moderate heat for
about 3 minutes, making sure you don't burn the coating stuck to the
wok - it's part of the recipe.
- Stir in Gai Lan Leaves until coated with oil, then stir in
Sauce mix, cover and simmer until thick stems are crisp tender
and still a bit crunchy. Tumble a couple times and scrap up the coating
from the wok.
- Turn off heat and stir in Lime Juice.
