Pork Saute With Vegetable
Pork is fantastic when paired with leafy greens or green beans—one of my favorite combinations!
Whether I’m in my kitchen or dining at a Chinese restaurant, I often go for the pork sauté or stir-fry.
This Pork Sauté with Vegetables is super easy and delicious. Juicy pork and fresh veggies make it perfect for busy nights when you want a great meal without all the fuss.
Although I don’t eat pork very often, when I do, it’s usually for three dishes: pork curry, pork momo, or this tasty sautéed pork.
Here is an easy recipe to make sauteed pork recipe.
Ingredients
Pork: Opt for tender pork cuts, such as boneless pork loin, tenderloin, or sliced boneless pork chops cut into thin strips.
Soy Sauce: Choose dark soy sauce for its savory depth and umami goodness that elevates your pork sauté.
Garlic and Ginger: Thinly sliced garlic and minced ginger to add more flavor. Garlic and ginger powder can be used if fresh ingredients aren’t available.
Seasoning: Black Pepper and salt.
Onion and Cilantro.
Bell Pepper: Sliced bell pepper, whether red, green, or a combination of both. It provides a juicy crunch and sweet flavor to the dish.
Oil: Vegetable cooking oil.
Others: Green chilies and Red pepper flakes.
Instructions To Make Pork Saute
- Heat the oil on medium heat.
- Add the sliced pork to the pan once hot. Cook the pork until it turns lightly brown.
- Next, toss the thinly sliced garlic and minced ginger and saute for 2 minutes.
Note: While cooking pork, it will release water. Continue sautéing the pork until it absorbs all the water and turns lightly brown.
- Then, add veggies (green chili, onion, and bell pepper) to the pan. Stir-fry them together on medium heat for 2-4 mins.
- Add red chili pepper flakes and black pepper. Saute for a minute.
- Next, Add soy sauce.
- Mix all ingredients thoroughly in the pan to coat them evenly with sauce and spice flavorings.
- Cook for 2-4 minutes on medium-high heat.
- Once your pork sauté is cooked, add a pinch of salt and garnish with freshly chopped green onions or cilantro.
Note: Be sure not to go overboard with the salt; the soy sauce already adds a salty taste.
- Transfer it to a serving dish and serve it with steamed rice.
Serving
Here are a few serving suggestions:
- Pair with steamed white or brown rice for a complete meal or even fried rice.
- Pair with a side of fresh salad greens drizzled with a tangy vinaigrette to add a refreshing contrast.
- For a lighter option, serve the sauteed pork with quinoa or cauliflower rice.
Storage
- If there’s any pork saute left, it’s important to let it cool down before storing it in an airtight container in the fridge. This will help it stay fresh for 3-4 days.
- To store pork saute longer, consider freezing it. Allow the pork to cool completely, and then place it in a freezer-safe container or resealable freezer bag. Properly frozen, sautéed pork can maintain quality for 2-3 months.
