Pork and Veggies Stir Fry – The Real Recipe

Stir fry is a quick and easy Chinese dish. Many people can stir fry without any recipes because stir fry sounds like just throwing every in the pan. But that is WRONG… Yes, stir fry is quick and easy to cook but it’s not frying everything together all at once. Many people mistake that and their Stir Fry ended up being very watery or overcooked. That is because they cook in the wrong order. I recommend cooking the protein and vegetables separately because veggies produce water when you cook them in the pan and that will make your dish very watery. Here is my full recipe to cook a perfect Pork and Veggies Stir Fry.

Tips

Some tips for a good Stir Fry:

When creating your own Stir Fry, remember to follow the steps in order.

  • heat up the pan before adding oil
  • Use a little sugar when marinating pork
  • cook protein and vegetables separately first, then stir fry them together at the end

In this recipe, you could change zucchini to broccoli if you like. If you are vegetarian you could use tofu instead of pork.
