Pork Stir-Fry With Greens

Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless pork shoulder
• 1 pound greens like bok choy or mustard
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• Juice of 1/2 lime
• 1/4 cup stock or water, optional
• 1/2 cup chopped scallions for garnish

Directions

1. Put the pork in the freezer for 15 to 30 minutes; once it's firm, slice it across the grain thinly, then cut the slices into bite-sized pieces.
2. Rinse the greens well and trim any thick stems if necessary; roughly chop them.
3. Heat a skillet over high heat until it begins to smoke.
4. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil, swirl the pan, then add all the pork.
5. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pork browns and loses its pink color, 2 to 3 minutes.
6. Transfer the pork to a bowl, lower the heat to medium.
7. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet.
8. Swirl it around and add the garlic.
9. Stir once or twice.
10. As soon as the garlic begins to color - 10 to 15 seconds - return the heat to high and add the greens and 2 tablespoons water.
11. Stir frequently, until the greens wilt, 2 or 3 minutes longer.
12. Add the pork back to the skillet and stir for 1 minute.
13. Add the soy sauce and lime juice, stir, turn off the heat, and taste, adding more soy sauce.
14. If the mixture is dry, add the stock and heat through.
15. Garnish with the scallions and serve immediately.
