Honey Cashew 5-Spice Pork with Brown Rice

This dish is simple to make, but it has flavor special enough for company.

Serves: 2
Cook Time: 5 Minutes

Ingredients

• 8 to 10 ounces (3/4 inch-thick) Smithfield Boneless Pork Chops, cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips
• 3/4 teaspoon five-spice powder*
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup unsalted roasted cashews (or peanuts)
• 1 cup hot, cooked quick-cooking or ready-to-serve brown rice
• *Five-spice powder is a Chinese spice mixture of cinnamon, cloves, star anise, fennel, and pepper. It is a strongly flavored, fragrant spice -- so use it sparingly at first; but the blend works well in savory dishes that benefit from the addition of ground cinnamon as an ingredient.

Steps

Place pork on a piece of wax paper. Combine five-spice powder and salt; sprinkle on pork, and toss well to coat strips. Stir together soy sauce and honey; set aside. Heat oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook until browned on all sides and no longer pink in center, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add cashews; drizzle with soy sauce mixture, stirring to coat; immediately remove from heat. Serve on brown rice.

Serving Suggestions

You can double the recipe to serve 4 for a dinner party, but be sure to saute the chicken in two batches so you don't overcrowd the skillet.
