Ingredients:
  • 2 Tbs. soy sauce
  • 1 tsp. sugar
  • 1/4 tsp. five-spice powder, or an equal mixture of cinnamon, ground cloves, ground fennel seed, ground ginger and chili pepper
  • 1-1/4 Lbs. boneless pork tenderloin chops, partially frozen, thinly sliced across the grain into bite size pieces
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup lemon zest, cut into slivers

Cooking Directions:
Combine soy sauce, sugar and five-spice powder in a mixing bowl. Add pork to marinade. Toss to coat. Cover bowl and marinate in the refrigerator 30 minutes. Combine lemon juice, zest, honey, and cornstarch in a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Shake vigorously. Heat a wok or heavy nonstick skillet over high heat. Add walnuts and stir constantly 1 minute until toasted. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Add vegetable oil to wok. Stir in ginger and saute 30 seconds. (The next step may be done in batches.) Add pork and stir fry 3-4 minutes or until done. If working in batches, transfer pork to a platter. Return pork to wok when all meat is cooked.
