Pork and Broccoli Stir Fry with Peanut Sauce

1 lb pork loin boneless country ribs, sliced thinly
2 broccoli crowns, cut into bite-sized pieces, about 3 cups
2 orange (or other) sweet peppers
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2-inch fresh ginger, peeled and minced
12 Chinese chives or 3-4 green onions, chopped

Peanut Sauce:
1 Tbsp Hoisin sauce
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp sesame oil
1 tsp chili paste
2 Tbsp peanut butter
1/4 cup dry sherry

Whisk together the sauce ingredients.  Heat a wok over high heat.  Add a bit of canola or peanut (high smoking point oils - NOT olive oil) and tip in the broccoli and pepper.  Stir fry until just crips tender, about 3-5 minutes.  Add the chives or green onions and cook another 1-2 minutes.  Remove veggies to a bowl. 

Reheat wok and add another golf of oil. Stir fry the pork over high heat for another 3-5 minutes, until the meat is just cooked through, medium-rare.

Return the veggies to the wok and toss everything together.  Tip in the sauce and bring to a vigorous boil.  Turn out to a serving bowl and top with the tips of the chives and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired.
