Mixed Vegetable Stir-fry with Pork (Quick Home-Style #4)

Cooking StepsHow to cook Mixed Vegetable Stir-fry with Pork (Quick Home-Style #4) step by step

Cooking Process

1. 
   Step 1

   Take some lean pork and gather whatever greens you have in the fridge — a little bit of everything.

2. 
   Step 2

   Wash the greens. Separate the stems from the leaves — stems take longer to cook so they’ll go in the pan first. Slice the carrots and zucchini, cut the chili into strips.

3. 
   Step 3

   Slice the lean pork. Add ginger slices, a little oil, salt, cooking wine, light soy sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well to marinate.

4. 
   Step 4

   All ingredients prepped. The original recipe uses half a piece of lean pork for a single serving.

5. 
   Step 5

   Heat oil in a wok and stir-fry the marinated pork slices.

6. 
   Step 6

   Push the pork to one side of the wok. Add the vegetables that take longer to cook first.

7. 
   Step 7

   Push the pork and the first batch of veggies to one side. Add the vegetable stems and a pinch of salt to help them release moisture.

8. 
   Step 8

   Once the stems have softened, add the leaves and zucchini slices — these cook the fastest. You can add a tiny bit more salt on the leaves to help season them. (The secret is adding ingredients in order of cooking time, longest first.)

9. 
   Step 9

   Toss everything together. When everything looks cooked through, add mushroom seasoning or MSG to boost the flavor, sprinkle sesame seeds for aroma, and optionally toss in some dried chili peppers.

10. 
    Step 10

    Plate and serve. Protein and a variety of veggies — pair with rice and a quick soup for a simple, satisfying meal.
