How to make pork chop stir-fry
This pork chop stir-fry is an impressive dish that’s simple to make and ready in just a few easy steps:
Prepare your ingredients – once things heat up, they move quickly so make sure the vegetables, meat, and sauce are ready to go. Use a large frying pan or a wok – a large frying pan or wok has a large surface area making it ideal for stir-fries. Make sure your pan is hot – the key to stir-frying is cooking ingredients at high heat for a short amount of time. Use a small amount of oil – you don’t need a lot; when it heats up, roll it around the pan to cover the surface and prevent sticking. Slice the meat thinly – slicing meat thinly and against the grain will increase its tenderness. Be careful not to overcook your vegetables – just 2-3 minutes; they will still have some crunch. Thicken the sauce – adding cornstarch to the sauce (as this recipe does) thickens it which helps it stick to the noodles. Garnish with aromatics – add cilantro, green onions, or other fresh aromatic herbs at the end for a fresh element.
Serve it with brown or white rice instead of noodles. There will be lots of tasty sauce to drizzle over the rice! Try a different protein. Pork makes great stir-fry meat because it’s easy to prepare, cooks quickly, and takes on the flavor of the sauce. Some other great stir-fry proteins to try are chicken breast, tender cuts of beef like sirloin or ribeye, salmon, shrimp, and tofu. Mix up the vegetables. This recipe uses carrot, bell pepper, broccoli, snap peas, and mushroom but you can use 8 cups of your favorite quick-cooking vegetables. Some tasty vegetable ideas are: Bean sprouts Snow peas Edamame Zucchini Onion Corn Cabbage Leafy greens Canned baby corn Water chestnuts
