Pasture Raised Ground Pork Stir Fry with Crunchy Asian Slaw
The secret to this pasture raised ground pork stir fry is caramelization. A bit of brown sugar and fish sauce (no, it won't taste fishy AT ALL), transforms humble ground pork to a Vietnamese inspired flavor bomb with exceptional texture and umami. This quick and easy stir fry recipe has earned it's place in my rotation of weeknight meals and *not boring* lunches. Its rich flavor is balanced with freshly grated ginger, garlic, and a pop of heat from red Thai chili peppers. Totally optional, though encouraged. Ground chicken would also work very well here, so feel free to swap it out. Get the recipe here!
