Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Ginger Pork Stir-Fry in Minutes.
Step 1
To create a delicious marinade for your pork, start by grabbing a large glass or ceramic bowl.
Step 2
In it, whisk together soy sauce, cider vinegar, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, chopped garlic, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 3
Set aside 1 tablespoon of this flavorful marinade in a small bowl for later use.
Step 4
Now, add your pork strips to the remaining marinade in the large bowl, tossing them gently to ensure they’re fully coated.
Step 5
Let the pork soak up those tasty flavors for about 10 minutes.
Step 6
While the pork is marinating, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet over high heat until it shimmers invitingly.
Step 7
Once hot, add the marinated pork to the skillet, stirring frequently to achieve a beautiful golden-brown color on all sides, which should take about 2 minutes.
Step 8
Once browned, remove the pork from the skillet and set it aside on a plate, allowing it to rest while you prepare the vegetables.
Step 9
In the same skillet, toss in diced red bell pepper and onion, drizzling the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil over them.
Step 10
Sauté the vegetables for about 2 minutes, stirring until they start to soften and release their vibrant colors.
Step 11
Next, add in your frozen stir-fry vegetables and drained water chestnuts.
Step 12
Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the reserved marinade and sprinkle in some ground ginger and red pepper flakes if you like a little heat.
Step 13
Stir everything together and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender yet still crisp, creating a delightful texture.
Step 14
Finally, return the cooked pork to the skillet, mixing it in with the vegetables until everything is heated through, which should take just about a minute.
Step 15
Serve your stir-fry hot, and enjoy the burst of flavors and colors on your plate! This dish not only satisfies your taste buds but also brings a touch of excitement to your dinner table.
