12 oz. boneless pork loin, trimmed of all visible fat
1 can (8 oz.) pineapple chunks in juice
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp. cornstarch
1/2 tsp. salt to taste
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 Tbsp. canola or peanut oil, divided
2 cups fresh or frozen broccoli florets
1 medium carrot, thinly sliced
1 medium onion, cut vertically into 1/2-inch slices
8 ears canned baby corn
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 tsp. minced fresh ginger
1. Freeze pork until firm, about 20 minutes. Cut pork into 1/4-inch by 2- or 3-inch strips. Set aside.
2. Drain juice from pineapple into a small bowl, reserving pineapple. Add Worcestershire sauce and cornstarch to juice. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. Set aside.
3. In wok, heat 2 teaspoons oil over high heat. Add pork and stir-fry until white. Add broccoli, carrot, onion, corn, and reserved pineapple. Stir-fry until broccoli and carrots are brightly colored, about 2 minutes. Transfer to plate. Set aside.
4. Add remaining 1 teaspoon oil to wok. Add garlic and ginger. Stir-fry until fragrant, about 10 seconds, taking care not to burn them. Stir pineapple juice mixture. Add to wok with meat mixture. Stir-fry until liquid has thickened and meat is cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve immediately.
