Stir-Fried Pork with Chives and Chiles

Ingredients

• 0.5 cup veggie broth 
• 2 tablespoons canola oil 
• 1 large handful chives cut into 2-inch lengths
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch 
• 0.3 cup cilantro leaves fresh chopped
• 1  garlic clove minced
• 0.5 pound fatty pork boneless lean thinly sliced into 1 1/2-by-1/2-inch pieces
• 0.5 teaspoon salt 
• 1 tablespoon soya sauce 

Equipment

• bowl
• wok

Directions

1. In a small bowl, mix together the pork and the cornstarch until each piece is evenly coated. Set the bowl aside for at least 30 minutes.
2. Place a wok over high heat and add the oil. When oil starts to shimmer, add the red chiles, and stir-fry until they began to puff and change color, about 20 seconds.
3. Remove the chiles and set aside.
4. Add the garlic, and cook until it just starts to color, only about ten seconds.
5. Add the pork and the red chiles, and stir-fry until the pork starts to brown, about three minutes.
6. Add the salt and chives. Stir-fry for another minute.
7. Pour in the broth or water, and bring to a boil. Then pour in the soy sauce, stir well, and wait until the sauce thickens, which should take less than a minute.
8. Transfer the contents to a plate and garnish with cilantro.
9. Serve with white rice or rice noodles.
