Pork stir-fry recipe

Wok fried velvety pork and crunchy veg served on a bed of steaming rice or noodles makes for the perfect mid week meal.

This Chinese pork stir-fry is packed with a great mix of Asian base flavours of ginger, garlic and soy sauce, to which you can add the stir fry sauce of your choosing. To make sure the pork as tender as its name implies, slice as thinly as possibly, against the grain. This breaks down the muscle fibres to make the meat less chewy.  When it comes to the veg, don't feel you have to stick with those in the recipe. Stir fry is one dish you can play around with, although it’s nice to go for veg with a bit of crunch. Pak choi, broccoli or baby sweetcorn all make great additions or alternatives.
