This easy Pork Stir Fry is perfect for busy weeknights and meal prep. The mouth-watering sauce and pork loin make this delicious dish a family favorite. Serve up with a big bowl of simple steamed white rice and dinner time will be a hit.

I have mentioned before my love for Asian Cuisine. I am always making different Asian inspired dishes, and this is one of my favorites. This pork stir fry is all about the sauce. It is seriously, so good! It makes a great all-purpose stir-fry sauce, that is great with beef, chicken and pork.

The key ingredient in the sauce is Hoisin Sauce. Which is used a lot in Chinese cooking. This rich flavored sauce is the perfect combination of sweet and tangy. It is often served as a dipping sauce as well as in stir-fry sauces. You can find it in the Asian section of your grocery store or in your local Asian Market. It is the most important part of this dish, in terms of flavor so don’t skip it.

The vegetables in this stir fry are just green beans, mushrooms and green onion. Those can easily be changed to your favorite stir fry vegetables, or just what you have on hand. Broccoli, bell peppers and baby corn would be fantastic in this dish. Like most recipes, use this recipe as a guideline and feel free to use whatever meat or vegetables you have. I’m sure it will turn out delicious either way!

This versatile dish can be prepared using so many different ingredients. Use what you have on hand or your favorite stir fry ingredients. Here are a few suggestions.

  • Ground Pork goes great in stir fry dishes.
  • Ground Beef is another great meat to use in this dish.
  • Vegetarian – Leave out the meat all together and make this stir fry vegetarian.
  • Rice Noodles are great tossed in the finished sauce. Instead of serving rice with this dish cook rice noodles according to the package and toss them in the finished sauce.
  • Extra veggies like traditional stir fry veggies can be added. Here are a few of my favorite stir fry veggies. Water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, baby corn and zucchini.
  • Peppers such as red and green bell peppers make a great addition to this stir fry.
  • Wonton strips are great when added to the top of this dish. The crunchy texture is awesome!
