Main Dish Chinese Healthy

Steps

Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced pork to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned, approximately 4-5 minutes.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet, and stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil, and stir to combine, cooking for an additional minute.
Serve hot over cooked brown rice if desired.

Tips for Healthy Pork and Broccoli Stir-Fry

Slice the pork evenly so the pieces finish cooking together; overcrowding the skillet can make them steam rather than brown.
Broccoli should look vivid green with a little bite; cooking it until dull and soft can make the stir-fry watery.
Have the ingredients ready before heating the skillet; the quick cooking time leaves little room for chopping midway.

Drink pairing

A dry Riesling
Its bright acidity complements the savory soy, ginger, and sesame flavors without overwhelming the lean pork and crisp broccoli.

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container and use within 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot; cooked rice should also be chilled promptly.
