Gingered Pork and Asparagus
    6 tablespoons apple juice
    6 tablespoons soy sauce
    4 garlic cloves, minced
    1 tablespoon ground ginger
    1 pound pork tenderloin, thinly sliced
    2 tablespoons cooking oil, divided
    1 pound fresh asparagus, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
Hot cooked rice, optional
In a large resealable plastic bag or shallow glass container, combine the first four ingredients.  Remove 1/3 cup and set aside.  Add pork to remaining marinade;  seal bag or cover container and turn to coat.  Refrigerate for 1 hour.  In a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, stir-fry half of the pork in 1 tablespoon oil for 2 to 3 minutes or until no longer pink.  Remove pork with a slotted spoon;  set aside.  Repeat with remaining pork and oil.  In the same skillet, stir-fry the asparagus for 2 to 3 minutes or until crisp-tender.  Stir cornstarch into reserved marinade;  add to the skillet.  Bring to a boil;  cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.  Return pork to skillet and heat through.  Serve over rice if desired.
