recipe Dinner Recipe: Mandarin Pork Stir-Fry

Taste of Home ~ Step by Step

When my husband and I were dating, he told me he liked Asian food. I got a wok and discovered the joy of dishes like this pork stir-fry.
Recipe by: Laurie Martignon ~ Niagara, Wisconsin



    Ingredients:
  • 2 cups uncooked instant rice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 pork tenderloin (1 pound), cut into 2-inch strips
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 package (14 ounces) frozen sugar snap peas
  • 1 can (11 ounces) mandarin oranges, drained

  • Preparation Instructions:
  • Cook rice according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the cornstarch, garlic powder and ginger. Stir in orange juice until smooth. Stir in water and soy sauce; set aside.
  • In a large wok or skillet, stir-fry pork in oil until juices run clear; remove to a platter and keep warm. In the same skillet, stir-fry peas until tender. Return pork to skillet. Stir orange juice mixture; add to skillet. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Gently stir in oranges. Serve with rice.


recipe Dessert Recipe: No-Bake Strawberry Cheesecake
Servings: 10-12
The Pioneer Woman ~ Step by Step

Turn off your oven! This no-bake dessert is the easiest strawberry cheesecake you'll ever make. It has that buttery graham cracker crust everybody loves, along with a supremely fluffy, sweet-tart strawberry filling.
Recipe by: Leah Perez

    Ingredients:
    Crust:
  • 16 sheets graham crackers
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 10 Tbsp. salted butter, melted
  • Nonstick cooking spray

  • Filling:
  • 1 1/4 cups cold heavy cream
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 3 (8-oz.) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp. lemon zest
  • 2 tsp. lemon juice
  • 1 (3-oz.) box strawberry gelatin, such as Jell-O
  • 6 Tbsp. boiling water
  • 1 1/2 cups finely chopped strawberries

  • Preparation Instructions:
  • For the crust: To a food processor, add the graham crackers and brown sugar. Process until finely ground, about 1 minute. With the processor running, slowly pour in the melted butter. Process the mixture until it is the texture of coarse sand.
  • Spray a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray. Transfer the graham cracker mixture to the pan. Using a measuring cup, press the mixture into the bottom and about 1 1/2 inches up the sides of the pan. Press firmly to pack and make an evenly thick crust. Place in the freezer for 20 minutes.
  • For the filling: To the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, add the heavy cream and vanilla. Mix on medium-high speed until very stiff peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the whipped cream to a mixing bowl.
  • To the same stand mixer bowl, add the cream cheese. Fit the mixer with the paddle attachment and beat the cream cheese on medium speed until softened and smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, and add the granulated sugar, powdered sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Beat to combine on medium speed until smooth, 1 minute.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the strawberry gelatin with the boiling water. Whisk vigorously for at least 2 minutes to dissolve the gelatin, scraping any sugar from the sides of the bowl as you whisk. Add the gelatin mixture to the cream cheese mixture. Beat on medium speed until very smooth, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed, about 1 minute. Fold in the strawberries.
  • Add one-third of the whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture, and gently fold in with a rubber spatula until completely combined. Add the remaining two-thirds of the whipped cream and continue to gently fold until completely combined.
  • Remove the crust from the freezer and add the filling. Gently push into an even layer and smooth the top with the back of a spoon or an offset spatula. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 12 hours and up to 2 days.
  • Loosen the cheesecake from the springform pan with a small knife or offset spatula. Transfer the cheesecake to a serving platter or cutting board. Cut slices with a warm knife.
