pork tenderloin stir fry with bok choy, tangerines, and chili sauce.

Hands down all time favorite meal of all time. If you decide to make one of our humble meals, THIS is it. And it's so affordable. We use half of the pork tenderloin, throw the rest in the freezer, and use it again for the same meal in 2 weeks-ish. (Or the next week if my husband will let me...)

Pork Tenderloin Stir-Fry with Bok Choy, Tangerines, and Chili Sauce. (Thanks, Epicurious.)



**Traditionally, we don't serve tortillas with this dish, but it was a little spicy (see note about Sriracha sauce later), so Col decided to add tortillas to his plate.**

1 1 1/4-pound pork tenderloin, trimmed, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick rounds, then cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons Asian sesame oil, divided
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
4 small peeled tangerines or clementines, cut (with peel) into 3/4-inch pieces
1/4 cup Asian sweet chili sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder (look in the Asian foods section)
6 baby bok choy, cut crosswise into 1-inch-thick ribbons, tough bases discarded
5 green onions, thinly sliced on diagonal, divided
A few squirts of Sriracha sauce (this stuff is LETHAL. but delish.)

Place pork tenderloin strips in medium bowl; sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper and toss with cornstarch to coat. Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced ginger; stir 30 seconds. Add pork tenderloin strips; stir-fry until pork is beginning to brown and is almost cooked through, about 3 minutes. Add sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, and Chinese five-spice powder; boil until sauce in skillet thickens slightly, tossing to blend, about 1 minute. Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil, bok choy, a few squirts of Sriracha sauce, and half of sliced green onions. Add tangerine pieces; toss 30 seconds. Stir-fry just until bok choy is wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Transfer to bowl; sprinkle with remaining sliced green onions and serve.

For a little chuckle:

1. My kids are doing the "Cupid Shuffle" in front of the whole school during our Friday morning assembly. We have had to practice appropriate dance moves in class.

2. "Mrs. Dismuke, you look like you're the age of my uncle. He's like 43, I think..."

3. "Mrs. D, your face is red (I just had a coughing spell). Just like when [[insert a boy in my class with a temper's name here]] gets mad."
