Broccoli and Pork Stir Fry
Broccoli becomes a crowd pleaser when prepared in this simple stir fry with thinly sliced pork tenderloin from
The Houston Chronicle. The dish gets its Asian flair from the usual ingredients -- from the sweet, salty soy, to the tangy rice vinegar, garlic and scallions -- but it gets a special fruity dimension from the orange juice and zest.
The knee-jerk reaction is to throw an off-dry Riesling at this dish, which is certainly an option, but if you are looking for something a little more exotic, consider a Viognier that combines spice and a velvety honeysuckle texture and flavor. Another good option is to try a well-chilled off-dry rose or white Zinfandel that will hold up to the pork and spices, yet put out the fire and refresh. One could substitute chicken or beef for the pork, but the pork tenderloin really makes it special. To get started on this quick and easy stir fry, please visit
