Why You'll Love This Easy Stir Fry Recipe

This quick stir-fry recipe is on the dinner table in less than 30 minutes. It's full of fresh flavors and savory ingredients. The bok choy gives it a lovely crunch.

The stir fry can be saved in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, and it reheats well, making it perfect for leftovers the next day.

If you don't cook with ground pork often, it cooks similarly to ground beef. It's a bit leaner than beef, so watch it while it browns to ensure it doesn't cook too quickly.

Instructions

Prepare the vegetables - dice the onion, wash and chop the bok choy, mince the ginger and garlic, and slice the green onions.

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and break it up with a wooden spoon or spatula.

Cook the pork for 4 to 5 minutes or until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside. 

Heat the oil in the skillet and once hot add the diced onion. Cook for 3 minutes and then add the garlic and ginger.

Sauté for 30 seconds, stirring continuously. 

Add the cooked ground meat back to the skillet and add the chopped bok choy. Stir and let cook for 3 minutes. 

Add in the soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and chili oil. Stir and cook for 1 minute. 

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir the green onions into the pork mixture. Top with the sesame seeds. 

Serve immediately. 

Optional - serve with a ½ cup of cooked rice with each serving, if desired.
