Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Prepare the rice using the package directions, omitting the salt, margarine, and seasoning packet.
Step 2
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sherry, sugar, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes until the cornstarch is completely dissolved. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat a nonstick wok or large nonstick skillet over high heat for about 1 minute, or until very hot. Cook the pork for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
Step 4
Add the soy sauce mixture. Cook for about 1 minute, or until the pork is cooked through and the sauce is thickened, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat.
Step 5
Arrange the rice on a platter, leaving room for the spinach on the outer edge. Spoon the pork and sauce over the rice. Cover the platter with aluminum foil to keep warm.
Step 6
Return the wok with any pan residue to high heat. Add about half the spinach and half the water. Cook for about 1 minute, or until the spinach is just limp, stirring constantly. Arrange around the outer edge of the rice. Re-cover the platter. Repeat with the remaining spinach and water.
Red-Hot Chicken Stir-Fry
Step 7
Instead of the pork, use 1 pound thinly sliced chicken tenders or boneless, skinless chicken breasts, all visible fat discarded.
