  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water

๐Ÿ’ชProtein & Nutrition Breakdown

Pork loin provides a lean protein base with 36g protein per serving. Paired with a range of vegetables, this dish is high in protein, moderate in carbs, and rich in vitamins C and A from the peppers.

๐ŸฅกMeal Prep & Storage

This stir fry keeps well in the fridge for up to 4 days. Store with rice in separate containers. Reheat in a hot pan for 2โ€“3 minutes or microwave with a splash of water to revive the sauce.

๐Ÿ’ก Tips & Notes

  • โ€ขSlice pork thin and against the grain for the most tender result.
  • โ€ขThe cornstarch coating on the pork creates a light velvety texture โ€” a technique called 'velveting'.
  • โ€ขHigh heat is key. If the wok isn't hot enough, you'll steam instead of stir-fry.

Variations

  • โ†’Add cashews for extra protein and crunch.
  • โ†’Use pork tenderloin for a leaner cut.
  • โ†’Swap vegetables based on what you have โ€” courgette, snap peas, and baby corn all work great.
