EASY THAI PORK STIR-FRY

If you have been hanging around here for any length of time you know I love an easy weeknight meal recipe. Today’s Easy Thai Pork Stir-Fry is just that and a great dish to put over rice, with rice noodles or in a lettuce wrap. Sometimes I make a double batch because I think the leftovers taste just as good.

This Easy Thai Pork Stir-Fry uses ground pork and mixes it with a rainbow of vegetables along with a Thai inspired sauce. I can get this meal on the table in under 30 minutes and my family loves it.

When I make dinner each day I like to try new recipes for my family so they don’t get bored. We love stir-frys because it is an all encompassing meal that includes your protein and vegetables along with a grain if you choose to add it over brown rice.

If you haven’t tried using ground pork you should! I have recently used it in this Instant Pot Pork Chili and this Slow Cooker Pork Posole and loved how flavorful those dishes turned out using the ground pork.

Mike and I love going out for Thai food and I have noticed that a lot of their stir-frys include ground pork. When I created this recipe at home I used bell pepper {try using a variety of colors}, onion, matchstick carrots and bok choy. If you aren’t a fan of bok choy or can’t find it you can use your favorite green. I highly recommend spinach if you like that.

Many of my recipes are very customizable to your tastes and this recipe is no different.

When it comes to stir fry recipes my rule is the more vegetables the better. Try adding zucchini, eggplant, celery, tomatoes and jalapeños for added spice.
If you are feeling adventurous try adding 1/2 of a pound of ground Italian sausage into the recipe or you can use 1/2 ground sausage and 1/2 ground pork.
Feeling spicy? Add chili peppers, jalapeños, hot sauce or crushed red pepper.
Do you like mushrooms? They would be a great addition to the stir-fry.
This stir-fry works great over white or brown rice, noodles or in lettuce wraps.
