Description
Makes 6 servings

Ingredients

 * 1 1/2 pounds boneless pork steak
 * 3 tablespoons soy sauce, divided
 * 3 tablespoons cornstarch, divided
 * Vegetable oil
 * 1 medium onion, sliced and separated into rings
 * 1 1/2 cups diagonally sliced celery
 * 1 clove garlic, minced
 * 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
 * 1 11-ounce can mandarin orange segments
 * 1 10-ounce package fresh spinach (about 2 quarts)
 * 3 cups hot cooked rice

Directions
Cut pork into 1-inch squares. Place in small bowl. Add 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 2 tablespoons cornstarch. Mix well. Let stand 30 minutes.

Heat 3/4 cup oil to 350 degrees in wok. Add one-fourth of the pork pieces and cook, stirring to separate pieces, about 4 minutes or until brown. Remove to absorbent paper. Repeat until all pork is cooked. Drain oil from wok. Wipe out with paper towel. Add 1 tablespoon oil to wok. Add onion, celery and garlic; stir fry until tender crisp, 2 to 3 minutes.

Combine ginger, remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 tablespoon soy sauce and syrup from mandarin oranges. Stir into meat mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, until clear and thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in spinach; cover and steam 1 minute. Gently stir in mandarin orange segments. Serve immediately over beds of fluffy rice.
