How to Make Spicy Pork & Vegetable Stir Fry
Tips for the Perfect Spicy Pork & Vegetable Stir Fry
- Want the most tender pork? Toss your thinly sliced pork in 1 tsp of cornstarch prior to cooking it. I promise it will still be tender the next day!
- The kind of vegetables don't really matter. Prefer to swap a veggie out for something else? No problem! Make sure it's something you'll like.
- Make sure you get that water boiling for your rice before you start making your stir fry! This will help your rice and stir fry be done around the same time!
What to Serve with Spicy Pork & Vegetable Stir Fry
It’s not so much what to serve with your Spicy Pork & Vegetable Stir Fry but what to serve on top of it! If you’re looking for even more spice- I recommend adding a drizzle of siracha (you can never go wrong)! Looking for a little bit of razzle-dazzle? I recommend adding some thinly sliced green onions or fresh cilantro (if you’re team cilantro) for some freshness. If you really want to send it, feel free to add a fried egg sprinkled with salt and pepper for an even richer stir fry!Â

If you have leftover stir fry to enjoy for the week ahead, I recommend getting some glass meal prep containers to easily be popped into your bag, and into the microwave at lunch time! They are also easy to stack in your fridge so they don’t take up too much room!
