Quick Ginger Pork Stir Fry
  1. 1

    Whisk soy sauce, cider vinegar, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, garlic, and salt in a large glass or ceramic bowl until the marinade is smooth. Transfer 1 tablespoon of the marinade to a separate small bowl. Add the pork to the remaining marinade in the large bowl and toss to coat. Let it marinate briefly, about 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over high heat until it glistens. Cook and stir the pork pieces in the hot oil until browned on all sides, about 2 minutes. Transfer the pork to a plate and return the skillet to the heat.

  3. 3

    Stir the red bell pepper and onion into the same skillet and drizzle the remaining oil over the top. Cook and stir until the vegetables are slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Add the frozen vegetables and water chestnuts to the onion mixture, drizzle 1 tablespoon of the reserved marinade over the top, and sprinkle with ginger and red pepper flakes. Cook and stir until the vegetables are tender yet still crisp to the bite, about 5 minutes. Return the pork to the skillet; cook and stir until heated through, about 1 minute more.
