SZECHUAN PORK (Microwave) 
1 lb. pork boneless loin or leg
1 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tbsp. cornstarch
1/2 tsp. ground red pepper
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
3 c. broccoli flowerets or 1 pkg. (16 oz.) frozen broccoli cuts, thawed
1 sm. onion, cut into eighths
1 can (8 oz.) whole water chestnuts, drained
1/4 c. chicken broth
1/4 c. peanuts

Trim fat from pork; cut pork into slices, 2 x 1 x 1/8 inch. Toss pork, soy sauce, cornstarch, red pepper and garlic in 3 quart casserole. Cover tightly and refrigerate 20 minutes.

Cover pork mixture tightly and microwave on high 8 to 10 minutes, stirring after 4 minutes, until pork is no longer pink. Stir in broccoli, onions, water chestnuts and broth. Cover tightly and microwave 6 to 7 minutes, stirring after 3 minutes, until broccoli is crisp tender. Stir in peanuts. Serve with rice if desired. 4 servings.

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