Directions

  1. Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil and heat for 30 seconds. Add the pork and stir-fry until no trace of pink remains, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Wipe out the pan. 
  2. Reduce heat to medium-high, add the remaining oil, and heat for 30 seconds. Add the peppers and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
  3. Add the broccoli and water. Cover partially and cook, stirring occasionally, until almost tender, about 3 minutes.
  4. Add the Hot-and-Sour Sauce and increase heat to high. When it starts to bubble, add the water chestnuts and pork. Stir-fry until warmed through, about 1 minute. Add the nuts and toss again. Serve immediately over the rice.

    Turnips

    Although the turnip has been grown for more than 4,000 years and was one of the first foods to be cultivated in Europe, it is currently underappreciated: It keeps well, takes to almost any cooking method, and has a subtly flavored, tasty flesh.
