I guess you probably watched the Super Bowl – commercials and all. Well I did not. It’s the second year in a row that I’ve missed it. Last year, I was flying over the Atlantic on my way home from Kazakhstan, and this year, I just refused to stay awake for it. It started at 12:30 AM. Staying up till the wee hours of the morning was just not in the cards this year. Instead, I was fast asleep dreaming of food.

Food like this delicious orange pork stir fry. This simple twist on my usual stir fry uses pork tenderloin (or sliced pork chops if that’s what you have) and a infusion of citrus to enhance the sauce. The sweetness of the orange is delicate enough that it doesn’t over power the other flavors in the dish, but it pairs really well with the pork.

And please don’t get confused, this dish tastes nothing like the orange chicken you can find at fast food establishments and mall counters across the country. Not that I have anything against that orange chicken – it’s really pretty good for something that tastes nothing like orange. This just isn’t the same thing.
