Quick Pork & Vegetable Stir-Fry
How about a stir-fry that requires almost no chopping? QUICK PORK STIR-FRY uses a bag of fresh broccoli slaw and an easy hoisin-lime-sesame oil sauce to keep total time to just 10 minutes but create a flavorful dish.
Hoisin and sesame oil are two ingredients that you may not have on hand. They’re staple ingredients that impart quick flavor in many Asian dishes, so I’ve found both are worth keeping around in the kitchen. Store the hoisin sauce in the refrigerator once opened, and oil in a cool, dark cabinet or pantry. Punch up the flavor a little more by serving with soy sauce.
This Quick Pork & Vegetable Stir-Fry is great served as-is, over hot cooked rice or riced cauliflower. The options are endless, making it a perfect dish for differing palates at the dinner table!
