Pork and Potatoes *****
Cubed Pork
Diced Onions
Cubed Potatoes
Soy sauce
Italian Dressing
Salt and Pepper
Corn Starch
DIRECTIONS
1. Salt and Pepper Pork and place in crock pot
2. Add Onions, Soy Sauce, Italian dressing and potatoes
3. Cook until done (couple hours on high; best on low 3-4 hrs)
4. I add cornstarch near the end to thicken the sauce; I don't measure. My cornstarch is a little old, so I'm sure it's lost some umph. I add a little at a time until the sauce is how I want it.
**I often add broccoli/peas/greenbeans at the end; typically frozen (in between steps 3 and 4)
**This can be cooked with chicken too.
**It can be cooked in a skillet (my preference actually) but marinate the meat beforehand.
Serve with Rice

Ginger Pork and Stir Fry Veggies ****
INGREDIENTS
1 (whole ) pork tenderloin, about 12-oz., thinly sliced
2 tablespoon(s) (grated peeled) fresh ginger
1 cup(s) (reduced-sodium) chicken broth
2 tablespoon(s) teriyaki sauce
2 teaspoon(s) cornstarch
2 teaspoon(s) canola oil (I use EVOO)
8 ounce(s) snow peas, strings removed, fresh or frozen
1 medium zucchini, cut lengthwise , in half and thinly sliced crosswise
3 onions, cut into 3-inch pieces
DIRECTIONS
1. Toss pork with ginger in a bowl. Mix broth, teriyaki sauce and cornstarch in a cup; set aside.
2. In a nonstick 12-inch skillet, warm 1 tsp. oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add snow peas, zucchini and green onions, and stir-fry until lightly browned and tender-crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer vegetables to large bowl.
3. In the same skillet, heat remaining 1 tsp. oil; add pork mixture and stir-fry until pork just loses its pink color, about 3 minutes. Transfer pork to bowl with vegetables.
4. Stir cornstarch mixture to blend; add to skillet and heat to boiling. Boil until sauce thickens slightly, about 1 minute, stirring constantly. Return pork and vegetables to skillet, stir to combine with sauce and heat through. Serve with brown rice, if you like.
