Health nut: pork stir fry

I created another successful meal last night.  When I went grocery shopping last week I bought tons of veggies, so I decided to put them to good use last night in a stirfry.  I used a great sauce recipe that I found in Food Network Magazine a few years ago.

Sauce: combine 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp. Hoisin sauce (I found it at Albertsons in the ethnic food aisle), 1 tbsp red wine, and 1 tbsp cornstarch.  Mix well and set aside. 

Cook your protein..I used three pork chops, or a little over a pound.  Slice off unwanted fat from the chops.  Slice and chop until meat is in bite size.  Cook in 2 tbsp. Olive oil or coconut oil (I used both) until cooked through and light in color.  Remove from pan and set aside.

Prep your veggies.  I used one red bell pepper, one onion, three small heads of broccoli, a handful of baby carrots, and about two cups of fresh green beans.  I steamed the broccoli, carrots, and beans for about ten minutes. 
While steaming, cook chopped onion and pepper in oil until tender.  Chop steamed veggies and add to onion and pepper mix.  Add pork back to veggies and pour sauce over all of it.  Mix it up and cook on medium for a few minutes.  Season with salt and pepper, or soy sauce, and enjoy.
