Instructions
Preparation:
Mince a clove of garlic. Cut a 1-inch piece of ginger and peel the thin skin with a spoon. Mince the ginger and add it to the garlic. Cut the pork loin into thin strips and mix with oil, ginger and garlic.
Cut the red bell pepper into strips and place it into the bottom of a medium bowl. Cut the green onions (scallions) into 2-inch pieces, including some of the green stems and add them to the bowl. Cut the broccoli florets into large bite-sized pieces, layering them on top.
Prepare the stir fry sauce: Add the cornstarch to a small bowl and mix it together. Stir in the Tamari soy sauce, dry sherry and sesame oil.
Place the wok over high heat. It's ready when a drop of water skips across the surface. Add oil and quickly tilt the wok to coat all surfaces. Pour out the remaining oil. Place the wok back onto the heat and begin adding the pork to the sides and bottom of the pan. Leave the pork undisturbed until it has cooked halfway through; the bottom half will turn white. Stir the pork and cook until it is almost cooked through. Remove from the pan to the serving bowl.
Dump the bowl of vegetables into the wok with the broccoli in the bottom. Cover with a lid and cook for 1 minute. Stir the vegetables and add the pork and any juices back to the pan. Stir the pork and vegetables together. Stir the stir fry sauce and pour it over the pork and vegetables. Push the pork stir fry to the sides and let the sauce boil at the bottom of the wok, stirring occasionally for several seconds until the sauce thickens.
If you would like the sauce a little thicker, remove the stir-fried pork and vegetables to the serving bowl and let the sauce cook a little longer. Pour the sauce over the stir-fry when it reaches your desired level of thickness. Serve topped with peanuts and sesame seeds.
