This Brazilian-inspired pork stir-fry combines tender pork with caramelized onions and soy sauce, served over fluffy rice. It's a quick, flavorful dish that brings a taste of Brazil to your kitchen.

Steps

  1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they become translucent and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes.
  3. Increase the heat to medium-high, add the pork slices, and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Cook the pork until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Pour in the soy sauce and stir well to coat the pork and onions.
  6. Serve the pork stir-fry over the cooked rice and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Tips for Brazilian Pork Stir-Fry with Rice

  • Keep the pork slices similar in thickness so they finish cooking at roughly the same time.
  • Avoid crowding the skillet; excess moisture can make the pork steam instead of brown.
  • The dish is ready when the pork is browned and no longer pink in the center, while the onions look soft and golden.

Drink pairing

A dry rosé
Its crisp, refreshing character complements the savory soy and caramelized onion without overpowering the tender pork.

0% option: Sparkling water with lime

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container and use within 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot.

Frequently asked questions

Can I prepare any of this ahead?

Slice the pork and onion ahead and refrigerate them separately in covered containers; cook the rice close to serving for the fluffiest texture.

How can I tell when the pork is done?

The slices should be browned outside and no longer pink in the center; avoid cooking them longer than needed, as they can become dry.

What can I serve alongside it?

A crisp green salad or lightly cooked vegetables add freshness alongside the rice and savory pork.
