Instructions

1. Wash and dry produce. Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin, ponzu, half the garlic powder and 2 teaspoons sugar (use all the garlic powder and 4 teaspoons sugar for 4 servings); set aside.
2. In a small pot, combine rice, 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups for 4 servings) and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until tender, 15-20 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
3. While rice cooks, pat pork dry with paper towels. Thinly slice crosswise. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add broccoli and cook, stirring often, until browned and tender, 4-7 minutes. Tip: Lower heat to medium if broccoli begins to brown too quickly. Stir in pork and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until cooked through, 3-5 minutes. Add soy sauce mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
4. Fluff rice with a fork. Divide rice between bowls; top with pork and broccoli stir-fry. Serve.

FAQ

Can I use frozen broccoli instead of fresh?

Yes, frozen broccoli works well. Thaw and pat dry before cooking to avoid excess moisture. You may need to cook it a few minutes longer to achieve the desired tenderness.

What can I substitute for ponzu sauce?

Ponzu is a citrus-soy sauce. You can substitute with a mixture of 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 teaspoon lemon or lime juice.

Can I make this dish gluten-free?

Yes, use gluten-free soy sauce (tamari) and ensure your hoisin and ponzu are gluten-free. Many brands offer gluten-free versions.
