Ingredients
  

Ground Pork Stir Fry
  • 1 pound lean ground pork
  • 4 ounce sliced mushrooms I used shiitake
  • 2 cup broccoli cut into small florets
  • ½ cup carrots julienned or strips
  • 1 small yellow onion diced
  • salt to taste
Sesame Ginger Sauce
  • 1 tablespoons cornstarch
  • ¾ cup chicken broth
  • ¼ cup soy sauce tamari if needed GF
  • 2 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 tablespoons minced ginger
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • teaspoon red chilli flakes
For Serving
  • Green onions
  • Toasted sesame seeds

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground pork, breaking it up with a spoon as needed, for about 5 minutes.
    1 pound lean ground pork
  2. Prepare the sauce by mixing cornstarch with a splash of chicken stock in a small bowl.
    1 tablespoons cornstarch
  3. Add the remaining chicken broth, chili flakes, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, ginger, and garlic, stirring once more until thoroughly combined.
    ¾ cup chicken broth, ¼ cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon honey, 2 tablespoons minced ginger, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, ⅛ teaspoon red chilli flakes
  4. Once the pork is mostly cooked, add mushrooms and onions to the skillet and let them cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. If there's excess oil (more than 1 tablespoon) in the skillet, tilt the pan to the side and remove it using a spoon. If there's less oil, add a splash more.

  5. Next, add the broccoli and carrots to the skillet and cook for an additional 3 minutes until they reach a crisp-tender consistency.
    2 cup broccoli, ½ cup carrots
  6. Stir the sauce to ensure the starch is evenly mixed, then pour it into the skillet. Allow the sauce to thicken for about 2 minutes. Taste for seasoning.
    salt to taste
  7. Finally, garnish the stir-fry with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve over rice or noodles and enjoy.

Notes

  • To Store. Pack the leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for 3 days.
  • To Make Ahead. You can combine the sauce in a mason jar and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Just don't add the cornstarch just yet. Veggies can be pre-sliced and kept in containers in the fridge.
