Kimiko Bigelow, San Jose, California
1 pound boned pork loin, fat trimmed
1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon sake (rice wine)
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 1/2 pounds slender asparagus (tough ends trimmed), in 3- to 4-inch lengths
2 teaspoons salad oil
1 tablespoon sliced green onion
Cut pork into thin strips. In a bowl, mix pork, soy, sake, and ginger; let stand 5 to 30 minutes.
Place asparagus and 1/2 cup water in a wok or 10- to 12-inch frying pan over high heat; cover. Stir occasionally until asparagus is tender-crisp to bite, 2 to 4 minutes. Drain asparagus, put on a platter, and keep warm.
Add oil to wok on high heat. With a slotted spoon, lift meat from marinade. Stir-fry in pan until meat is no longer pink in center (cut to test), 2 to 3 minutes. Add marinade and 2 tablespoons water; stir gently until boiling. Pour over asparagus; garnish with onion. Serves 4.
