Recipe by: Jo Merrill * substitute 8 tablespoons hoisin sauce in place of the
catsup and soy sauce if you prefer, or make a mixture of all three ingredients
to equal about 9 tablespoons. Cut pork into narrow 1-inch strips, 1/4th inch
thick; set aside. (partially freeze pork first for easier cutting). Cut green
onions, bell pepper, broccoli and onion into 1 inch pieces; set aside. Combine
garlic, ginger, pepper flakes, hot water, sugar, catchup and soy sauce; set
aside. In wok or large skillet, heat peanut or vegetable oil over high heat.

more oil if needed and stir-fry all vegetables tender crisp. Add pork and sauce
to mixture; cook until thickened. Serve with hot boiled rice. Yield is 8
