Pork, Mushroom, and Snow-Pea Stir Fry and White Chocolate Macadamia Nut

Yep, two recipes at once! This is what I made for dinner and dessert tonight. Delish! Be careful with the cookies though, they're so goo I could probably eat a dozen. :) Sorry, I don't have pictures. Please don't hate me.

Pork, Mushroom, and Snow-Pea Stir Fry
Ingredients:
  • 1 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed and very thinly sliced crosswise
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 4 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 1/2 pound snow peas, strings removed
  • 3 garlic cloves, forced through a garlic press
  • 1/2 pound sliced cremini mushrooms
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce

  • Accompaniment: steamed rice

preparation

Toss pork with cornstarch and 1 teaspoon salt.

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a wok or 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Stir-fry pork until pale golden and almost cooked through, about 4 minutes, then transfer to a plate. Add 1 tablespoon oil to wok and stir-fry snow peas with garlic until crisp-tender, about 1 minute. Transfer to plate.

Add mushrooms to wok with water and remaining tablespoon oil and cook, covered, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add pork, snow peas, and teriyaki sauce and stir-fry until pork is cooked through, about 2 minutes.

And here's the recipe for the cookies:

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 8 ounces white chocolate, chopped
  • 1 (6.5 ounce) jar macadamia nuts, chopped

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Stir in the egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt, stir into the creamed mixture. Finally, stir in the white chocolate and nuts. Drop cookies by heaping teaspoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart.
  3. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until lightly browned. Cool on wire racks. When cool, store in an airtight container.
