Pork and bean stir-fry FAQ:

How long does it take to cook the pork in this stir-fry?

The pork fillets should be cooked for about 3-4 minutes in the skillet until browned and cooked through.

What type of storage is best for leftovers?

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should be consumed within 2-3 days for best quality.

Can I substitute soy sauce for a gluten-free option?

Yes, you can use tamari sauce as a gluten-free alternative to soy sauce without compromising flavor.

What is the best size pan or skillet for this recipe?

A large skillet or wok is ideal for this stir-fry, as it allows enough space to cook the pork and vegetables evenly.

How do I know when the vegetables are done cooking?

The vegetables should be tender-crisp, taking about 5-6 minutes of stir-frying. They should be vibrant in color and still have a slight crunch.

Cooking Tips:

- Ensure that all your vegetables are prepped and ready to go before you start cooking. Stir-frying is a quick process, and having everything prepared beforehand will make it easier.

- Cut the pork fillets into thin, even slices to ensure they cook quickly and evenly.

- Use a high smoking point oil, such as olive oil, to prevent burning during the high-heat stir-frying process.

- If you like your vegetables crunchy, reduce the cooking time slightly.

- Mix the corn flour with water thoroughly to avoid lumps in the sauce.

- Adjust the soy sauce and mirin quantities based on your taste preference. Add more if you like a stronger flavor.
