Sesame Pork with Broccoli...

...without the sesame seeds. :) I thought this recipe turned out very well. Everyone ate it and the girls kept going back for more. They kept saying, "this chicken is really good mom!" When the meal was over I told them it wasn't chicken and they were just fine with that news.

The pork was really soft and tender and that is what made it so yummy. I think we were used to the pork chop texture of pork, but this was soft, juicy and had a really nice flavor to boot!

Sesame Pork with Broccoli

* 1 can (14 oz) chicken broth
* 2 tablespoons cornstarch
* 1 tablespoon soy sauce
* 4 green onions with tops, finely diced (I just used 1/4 cup plain yellow onion)
* 1 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed
* 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
* 1 clove garlic, minced
* 1 1/2 pounds fresh broccoli, cut into bite-sized pieces (about 7 cups) I waited too long and my broccoli looked sad, yellow and wilty, so I just used a bag of frozen out of my freezer. Worked just as good and I didn't have to cut it up!
* 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers
* 2 tablespoons sesame seed, lightly toasted (I skipped)
* Hot cooked rice (I had enough time to make brown rice, mmmm)

1. Combine chicken broth, cornstarch and soy sauce in small bowl; blend well. Stir in green onions and set aside (since I used yellow onion I saved them to stir fry with the bell peppers).

2. Cut pork tenderloin lengthwise into quarters; cut each quarter into bite sized pieces. Heat oil in wok or heavy skillet over med-high heat. Add pork and garlic; stir fry 3 to 4 minutes or until pork is tender. Remove pork and keep warm.

3. Add broccoli, peppers, onion and broth to the pan. Cover and simmer over low heat 8 minutes. Add cooked pork until it is all heated evenly, stirring frequently. Serve over rice and if desired sprinkle with sesame seed.
