Stir Fry Pork & Veggies

Stir Fry Pork & Veggies

Aimy & I were going to go out for dinner Friday night, but we changed our plans. She requested a healthy dish, so I did a stir fry with broccoli, okra, and pork, and added some extra veggies in as well. The sauce for this stir fry is made with orange juice and orange zest. It has a bit of a zing to it. Add extra black pepper to give it a little bit of a kick and this dish is simply wonderful!

    Looks great Brian. Though I will admit my first experience with okra was horrible. I hated it ever since.

    Still I like stir-fries. It is healthy cooking. I noticed no soy sauce. How about a dry white wine in place of the water? Or maybe a sweet red wine and you could delete the sugar? My favorite red sweet wine is Livingstone Red Rose..but that’s just me. My wife loves it if I cook with wine. :)

    Thanks for sharing.
