Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Pork and Vegetable Stir-Fry.
Step 1
To create a delicious stir-fry that’s bursting with flavor, start by heating 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Once the oil is shimmering, toss in the cauliflower florets and stir-fry them for about 3 minutes, allowing them to soften just a bit.
Step 3
Next, add the julienned carrots to the skillet and keep the stir-fry going for another 2 minutes, letting those vibrant colors mingle.
Step 4
Now, it’s time to introduce the thawed corn and peas; stir them in and cook everything together until the vegetables are crisp-tender, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 5
Once they’re perfectly cooked, transfer the veggies to a bowl and keep them warm while you move on to the next step.
Step 6
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil and toss in the pork strips.
Step 7
Stir-fry them for about 2 minutes, watching for that lovely browning to occur.
Step 8
Then, add the sliced green onions, minced garlic, ground ginger, and a sprinkle of chili powder.
Step 9
Cook this fragrant mixture for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until the pork is no longer pink and is infused with all those wonderful flavors.
Step 10
Once done, remove the pork from the skillet and keep it warm alongside the vegetables.
Step 11
Now, let’s make a savory sauce! Pour 1 cup of water into the skillet, followed by soy sauce, honey, and chicken bouillon.
Step 12
In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of cold water with cornstarch to create a slurry.
Step 13
Gradually add this mixture to the skillet while stirring constantly.
Step 14
Bring the sauce to a gentle boil and watch as it thickens beautifully, which should take about 2 minutes.
Step 15
Once your sauce is ready, return the cooked vegetables and pork to the skillet, stirring everything together to ensure it’s well combined.
Step 16
Heat it all through for another 2 to 3 minutes, allowing those flavors to meld.
Step 17
Finally, stir in some salted peanuts for that delightful crunch.
Step 18
Serve your vibrant stir-fry over a bed of hot, fluffy rice, and enjoy a meal that’s not just satisfying but also a feast for the eyes! This dish is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a fun gathering with friends.
Step 19
Happy cooking!.
