Expert Tips
Prep Ahead: Stir fries are quick affairs, so it's crucial to have all your ingredients prepped and within arm's reach before you start cooking. Chop those veggies in advance!
Veggie Swap: This ground pork stir fry is highly versatile. Feel free to sub in other veggies like zucchini, broccoli, yellow squash, or bell peppers based on what's in your fridge or your personal preferences.
Pan Size Matters: For optimal cooking, a 10-inch skillet is recommended. A pan that's too large will cause the sauce to evaporate too quickly due to increased surface area. Conversely, a smaller pan will increase cooking time for the pork.
Meat Alternatives: Don't limit yourself to just ground pork. This recipe is adaptable to other ground meats like beef, turkey, or chicken for a different flavor profile.
Go Vegetarian: Want to skip the meat? No problem. Turn it into a veggie stir fry by omitting the meat altogether.
