  • Combine cubed pork and flour in a resealable plastic bag. Seal the bag and shake until pork is coated.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet or wok. Add coated pork and brown quickly, about 5 minutes. Transfer pork with a slotted spoon to a bowl; discard remaining oil from the skillet.
  • Add chicken broth, 1/4 cup water, soy sauce, and sherry to the skillet. Stir in green onion, garlic, sugar, ginger, salt, and pepper. Add pork cubes and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until pork is tender, about 15 minutes. Check occasionally to make sure sauce is not thickening too much. If needed, add more water.
