Mike's Magic

This is my own recipe that I have done many times and everyone that has tried it seems to love the many flavors that it delivers. Pork is thinly sliced and stir-fried with bell peppers, celery, and Brussels sprouts. As you are using all fresh herbs there is no need to season with salt or pepper as this will take from the natural flavors.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 stalks celery, chopped
• ½ red bell pepper, chopped
• ½ green bell pepper, chopped
• ½ yellow bell pepper, chopped
• ½ (8 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and chopped
• 2 sprigs fresh mint, chopped

• ½ pound pork loin, sliced and cut into thin strips
• 5 Brussels sprouts, trimmed and chopped

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork strips, and fry until almost browned. Add red, yellow, and green bell peppers, carrot, and Brussels sprouts, and toss to coat with oil. Pour in enough water to coat the bottom of the pan, and cook stirring constantly, until the peppers begin to soften, about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Reduce the heat to medium, and stir in garlic, onion, parsley, and celery. Simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, add ginger, simmer for a few more minutes, then stir in water chestnuts and mint. Simmer for 2 to 3 more minutes to blend flavors. When done, serve and enjoy. Your tastebuds will love you for this treat!
