"A spicy citrus sauce coats tender strips of pork and crisp snow peas in this speedy stir-fry from Jane Shapton of Tustin, California. 'We like this dish extra spicy, so I use a tablespoon of red pepper flakes,' Jane notes."

Original Recipe Yield 3 servings

Ingredients

2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 1/2 teaspoons peeled, minced gingerroot
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
3/4 pound pork tenderloin, cut into 2-inch strips
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/3 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 pound fresh snow peas
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon grated orange peel

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, ginger and pepper flakes. Place 3 tablespoons in a large resealable plastic bag; add the pork. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade.
Combine the cornstarch, orange juice, vinegar and reserved marinade; stir until blended and set aside. Drain and discard marinade from pork. In a large nonstick skillet or wok, stir-fry pork in oil for 4-5 minutes or until no longer pink. Remove pork and keep warm.
In the same pan, stir-fry snow peas for 2-3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Stir in garlic and orange peel. Stir cornstarch mixture and stir into pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Return pork to the pan; heat through.
