Ingredients

6 boneless pork chops (1.5 lbs)
1 cup Mandarin orange with sesame salad dressing (I use Kraft)
¼ cup flour
1 - 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
½ cup beef broth
1 red pepper , julienned
2 cloves garlic , minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger , minced (See TERRI'S TIP below)
⅓ cup plum sauce
1 can mandarin oranges 284 ml

Instructions

Heat frying pan on stove top with oil on medium high. Coat pork in flour on both sides and brown for 2-4 minutes on each side.
Add dressing, beef broth, plum sauce, red pepper, ginger and garlic then reduce to simmer. Continue to cook over medium for 15 – 20 minutes until meat is cooked through and red pepper is tender.
Serve hot over rice or noodles

Notes

TERRI’S TIP* – keep fresh ginger in a freezer bag in your freezer – it lasts a very long time. Take out what you need, peel it with a vegetable peeler and grate it frozen right into your dish
