My goal for today was to prepare a quick and simple meal.
I found some beautiful pork loins at the grocery store and decided to create my Easy Pork Stir Fry with lots of veggies.
The great thing about a stir fry dish is you really can make it your own. Use whatever veggies you like and you can easily substitute the pork for chicken or beef.
First, saute the diced, seasoned, chops in olive oil for about 3 minutes per side.
Don’t be tempted to over cook the pork we want moist meat, not dry.
Next, add all those veggies. I used frozen Asian vegetables, but remember you can always use fresh.
I always keep frozen veggies in stock when I want to make a quick meal.
Lastly, add the simple stir fry sauce to the pan and allow it to cook a few minutes more.
The most time consuming part of this dish is preparing the rice. Yes, it’s that simple.
All done and ready to eat!
I would say pass the chopsticks but this is Big Goo’s bowl and he doesn’t like chopsticks, i.e. he doesn’t know how to use them, lol…but he loves forks!
Enjoy.
