ORIENTAL PORK AND TOMATO
CASSEROLE
 
1 lb. boneless pork loin, cut into thin strips
1 c. thinly sliced celery
1 med. onion, thinly sliced & separated into rings
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp. cornstarch
2 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tbsp. water
1 tbsp. packed brown sugar
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
1 med. green pepper, thinly sliced
1 med. tomato, peeled & cut into wedges

1. Combine pork, celery, onion and garlic in 2 quart casserole. Microwave at high (100%) until pork loses pink color, 5-10 minutes, stirring twice during cooking. Drain.

2. Mix cornstarch, soy sauce and water. Stir soy sauce mixture, brown sugar, ginger and green pepper into pork. Microwave at high (100%) until pepper is tender-crisp and sauce is thickened, 4-5 minutes, stirring after half the time.

3. Stir in tomato wedges. Microwave at high (100%) until tomatoes are hot and green pepper is tender, 1 1/2-2 minutes. Makes 4 servings.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
