Tips:

  • Choose tender pork cuts: Pork tenderloin, pork chops, and pork shoulder are all great options for a stir-fry. Avoid tougher cuts like pork loin or rump roast.
  • Slice your pork thinly: This will help it cook evenly and quickly.
  • Marinate your pork: This will help add flavor and tenderness. You can use a simple marinade made with soy sauce, rice vinegar, and ginger.
  • Use a hot wok or skillet: This will help create a nice sear on the pork and prevent it from sticking.
  • Stir-fry in batches: Don't overcrowd the wok or skillet, or the pork will steam instead of fry.
  • Add vegetables towards the end of cooking: This will help them retain their crispness.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fries are best served hot and fresh.

Pork stir-fry is a quick, easy, and flavorful meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious stir-fry that your whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give pork stir-fry a try.
