If you don't cook with ground pork often, you'll find it cooks similarly to ground beef. It's a little bit leaner than beef, so watch it while it browns to make sure 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 in 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.

What to Serve with Stir Fry

Stir fry pairs well with several sides, here are some of my favorite ways to serve this pork stir fry

• Rice - a warm side of white rice (like Jasmine) or brown rice pairs really well with this recipe. It soaks up the sauce and rounds out the meal.
• Rice Noodles - rice noodles are so easy to make and ready in a few minutes - they're great to serve alongside stir fry.
• Cauliflower Rice - if you want a lower carb option, try some warmed cauliflower rice.
• Udon Noodles - richly flavored noodles that you can toss with a bit of sesame oil.
