Step 1

Prepare: Pat ground pork dry with paper towels. Place pork in large bowl and evenly sprinkle with corn starch. Use hands to work it in until well-mixed, then set aside. Before proceeding with recipe, verify all ingredients are measured, prepared, and ready to go.

Step 2

Cook Pork & Broccoli: Heat oil in 10-inch sauté pan (Note over medium-high heat for a few minutes or until hot. Add ground pork to pan and cook until no longer pink, about 5 minutes, crumbling meat with stiff utensil. Add broccoli to pan and stir with pork. Add beef broth. Cook until broccoli is nearly tender, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. If pan gets too dry, add more beef broth. Meanwhile, proceed to next step to make sauce.

Step 3

Make Sauce: While waiting for broccoli to cook, stir together all sauce ingredients in small saucepan over medium-low heat until starting to simmer, about 5 minutes, then reduce to low heat to keep sauce warm.

Step 4

Serve: Evenly pour sauce over pork and broccoli in pan, stirring until everything is well-coated with sauce. Cook for another few minutes or until broccoli is tender. Turn off heat, and stir in scallions. Taste, adjusting salt, pepper, and sweetener as needed. Serve hot (Note 5).
