Ingredients for Pork Stir Fry Recipe

Directions for Pork Stir Fry Recipe:

• Stir fry the sliced onion and the chopped pork in oil until nicely browned. Remove from pan.

• Add broccoli slaw, cabbage, carrots, garlic and 1/4 cup of water. Stir fry the mix for a few minutes, but it's best crunchy. Add another 1/4 cup of water if needed.

• Add the meat mix back in and the Yoshida's sauce. Heat through for a couple of minutes.

• Serve this by itself or over a 1/2 cup to 1 cup portion of brown rice.

• Sprinkle with sunflower seeds, or slivered almonds for crunch, and chopped cilantro if you love it.

*To make this recipe vegetarian/vegan, substitute tofu or a vegetable sausage for the pork.

*Remember that 1/2 cup of rice is a serving size.

This pork stir fry recipe combination is fairly generic. You could substitute any vegetables that you have on hand or any meat that you enjoy. Many people dislike cilantro and I used to be in that camp. It's an acquired taste for sure. Herbs of any sort can be added to a stir fry and will take your recipe from delicious to gourmet! When I do not add herbs, I feel something is missing! They're that good!

Enjoy!
