Yesterday was a "whip up a good meal with only pantry and freezer ingredients" day, as I had very little fresh food and it was 3 degrees out.

My pantry is well stocked with Asian ingredients.

Luckily, I had a 10-oz pork tenderloin in the freezer.

So, my dinner for two last night:
1. Defrost and thinly slice the pork. Dust with cornstarch, and marinate in soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil and a touch of sambal oleck.
2. While that was marinating, I boiled up some rice noodles, then tossed with soy sauce (dark for color, light for flavor) and a little sugar.
3. I heated the wok, added some canola oil, and threw in some frozen green beans. I stir-fried until the beans were hot but not fully cooked, and then added a splash of rice vinegar and way too much sambal. Oops. (BEANS O FIRE!!!) I stir-fried until the beans were done and then dumped them from the wok and kept them warm.
4. After wiping the fire oil from the wok, I added the pork and stir-fried until it was cooked (only a few minutes), then threw in the remaining marinade, brought it to a boil and it quickly thickened into a nice gravy.

So, dinner was stir-fried pork, BEANS O FIRE!!! and rice noodles in sweet soy sauce. My SO was impressed.

What do you do when you have to cook from your pantry and freezer?
