Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground pork
- 0.25 cup Coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar (compliant with Whole30)
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 medium Zucchini, sliced into thin rounds
- 2 medium Bell peppers, sliced
- 2 medium Carrots, julienned or cut into thin matchsticks
- 0.25 cup Green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon Optional garnish: Sesame seeds (optional but must be compliant)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until fully browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the cooked pork from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of avocado oil. Add the sliced zucchini, bell peppers, and carrots to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 5-6 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked pork to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the prepared sauce over the pork and vegetables, tossing everything to coat evenly.
Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and the flavors to combine.
Remove the stir-fry from the heat and sprinkle with chopped green onions. If desired, garnish with compliant sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.
Serve the spicy pork stir-fry warm, either on its own or over a bed of cauliflower rice for a complete Whole30-compliant meal.
