Stir-fries are perfect for busy weeknights because they take under 15 minutes to prepare, and you can us any protein or vegetables you wish!
I chose to use lots of colorful veggies and lean pork, but you can also make this with chicken, beef, shrimp or even tofu if you wish. The stir fry sauce has a slight kick from the sriracha which I love, but if you’re not a fan of spicy food, leave it out (or add more if you like it HOT!)
I ate a big bowl of this and felt completely satisfied, but if you want to serve this with brown rice, perfect! I am loving Trader Joe’s frozen brown rice, it’s so good and such a great time saver! If you want to keep it low carb you could make my favorite Cauliflower “Fried Rice” on the side.

This was delicious! I ended up using chicken breast instead of pork. I tripled the sauce because I added rice noodles and thought they would soak it up, which they did. I will definitely make this again!
Absolutely delicious and easy to make. The whole family loved it.
Quick, easy, and tasty! I used pork tenderloin and added some matchstick carrots.
This is SO good! I’ve made it twice with ground pork – added the cornstarch and soy sauce to the pork like the recipe says. I doubled the sauce. This time, right before serving, I added a package of Ramen noodles. Cooked the noodles according to the package, except I only added a pinch of their seasoning packet to the water. I drained the noodles, reserving about 1/2 cup of the liquid, then tossed the noodles and reserved liquid with the pork and veggies. Delicious! Some day I might even try this recipe with pork strips.
Delicious! I was looking for ideas to use up some leftover grilled pork chops and steak. I just cut my meal into strips and added it after the veggies were cooked. The sauce is great. Only used a little shiracha cos I’m not a fan of heat. We served it over rice. Definitely a keeper.
Has to be one of my favorite recipes for how easy, quick, and delicious it is! Only change I made was I used a bag of frozen stir fry vegetables to make it a little quicker. I microwaved them for a bit so they’d defrost and then added them into the skillet like in step 4. So good!
This is my second time making this recipe – it is delicious!! I used lean pork tenderloin (took all the fat off) and I saved a point per serving on WW Blue plan, I also added carrots, onions and bean sprouts. We loved it!!
Used chicken breast b/c we dont eat pork. Doubled the lime juice and oil b/c it was too dry. Came out great! Kids loved it!
My boyfriend and I really enjoyed this recipe. I followed it to a T except I subbed in arrowroot powder instead of cornstarch. The chicken was really tender and delicious. My only feedback would be that the ginger was a little heavy. I would probably cut that in half. Otherwise really enjoyed it and found it very easy to follow!
Pretty good, but its really hard to use such a small amount of oil to stir fry the pork and not stick. Also, I needed to double the sauce. Not nearly enough. I substituted zucchini for mushrooms. Worked well
I agree had to hurry and add more oil to my wok due to the pork sticking so bad and fast
Made this tonight and it was delicious! I used chicken, carrots, broccoli, red and green bell peppers and served it over brown rice. It was perfect! The sauce is delicious! Will definitely put this on our meal rotation.
Great!
This was delicious and the recipe is very versatile! I subbed chicken breast for the pork and used the veggies I had on hand (zucchini, broccoli, baby bella mushrooms and a little carrot and red onion) and this came out perfectly. I like spicy stir fry, so I also added a tsp. of sriracha to the meat with the soy sauce and corn starch and let it sit in the fridge while I prepped all the veggies and sauce. This is going to be my go-to base stir fry recipe.
This sauce was killer! Since my cutting board was dirty after cutting the pork (and I was feeling super lazy), I just grated the ginger and garlic right into the sauce. I also grated the zest of the lime into the sauce as well. We will definitely be making this again!
This was absolutely delicious! I didn’t have mushrooms, added broccoli florets instead. We have saved this recipes in our FAVORITES!!!
The recipe says, ” 1/2 lime….
Does that mean juice of half a lime ( which seems alot) OR 1/2 teaspoon of the juice?
Hey guys – what wok is everybody using? Something awful happened to the marinade of soy sauce and starch – it stuck to the bottom of my wok and burned. 🙁 I wonder if my equipment is ok… any advice is helpful!
I have a nonstick wok.
It just didn’t work for me. It was much too vinegary and I did use teaspoons not tablespoons. I had to doctor it up with more honey and soy sauce.
Great recipe and can be changed according to taste or what you have – I used chicken, onions, and broccoli. Sauce was delicious. I did cook the veggies for more like 5-7 min since I like them a little more done.
What would be a good shiitake substitute? My fiance is allergic to shiitakes and is somewhat skittish about other mushrooms. Thank you!
You can sub any vegetable you like!
made this last night, quite good. Will make some preference changes next time.
There was a lot of soy sauce – should it only be 1 1/2 tbsp in total?
Made this tonight and it was amazing. The only changes I made were to add cut fresh green beans since I didn't have snow peas and reduced the sriracha to one tsp. Will definitely make it again.
Dump the Pork and substitute Tofu and you have a delish vegetarian dinner!
This looks amazing.
Made this recipe for dinner tonight with leftover Crock Pot Balsamic Pork Roast. Just stir fried the pork quickly and followed the balance of this delicious recipe. Will definitely make this again and again. Thanks for all your wonderful recipes Gina!
Just made this for a late lunch!!! Smellls sooooo yummy!!!! Thanks Gina for the awesome recipes!!!!!
Thank you! Just made for company…love the heat of the sauce!
Made this with chicken and served over brown rice. Sooo good, thanks Gina. I've made several things from your website, and you've helped me lose 30 lbs since Jan 🙂 Plus my hubby loves the recipes also!
This was very good. Another really good recipe
Anyone else having trouble getting the 'print' button to work? when I try to use it, nothing happens. . .I've printed many recipes from this site and this is the first time it won't work.
Gina, this was absolutely wonderful. I didn't change anything. The flavors were outstanding. I am able to follow weight watcher because of you. My husband loves everything that I have made from your recipes. Of course, I have your new cook book. Thank you so much for your beautiful, healthy recipies.
I made this for dinner this evening, and it was very tasty. It will definitely become a regular stir-fry in our house. I am trying it with chicken next.
Looks great and I will try it using zucchini noodles instead of rice since I now have a spiralizer.
Gluten free soy sauce is called TAMARI. It it usually located by the regular soy sauce. It is what I use.
GF stands for gluten free. If gluten is not a concern, any brand soy sauce will work.
What is GF soy sauce. is that regular soy sauce or a certain brand
Can you clarify lime vs. lime juice that you used for this recipe? In the ingredient list you state 1/2 LIME then in the recipe direction area you talk of LIME JUICE. I am a recipe-following gal so would love your clarification. Thanks!
They are the same. You buy a whole lime, cut it half, and then squeeze out the juice from one half to make the recipe.
This could definitely be a sheet pan dinner. Mix it all up and spread on a sheet pan , put in oven and roast until pork is done and the veggies are crisp tender. Putting on the grocery list. Thank you for the inspiration.
Oh my goodness, Gina … I wish I had a big plateful of this right now. I am so hungry and it looks SO tasty. Pinned it:)
You are probably too busy to come to blog hops but if you have a moment and want to share it on my Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop I sure would love it.
Which oil do you recommend? Plain olive oil or vegetable?
Im going to top it with sesame seeds. This sounds great. Thx!
Oh topping with sesame seeds sounds great!
I really like that idea, too. Oh my goodness I would love to have this for dinner TONIGHT but I don't have the ingredients.
Love stir fry! Such an easy meal to whip up on a busy night and so healthy!

Interesting how I just had pork last night! This looks delicious!
Yummy! I love stir-fry it is so easy and can be made so healthy! Xo
This looks like the perfect dinner for a busy weeknight! I'm always at a loss on how to cook pork so this is a keeper of a recipe for me 🙂
Me too. I saw a really good pork loin recipe on Food Network but it really wasn't going to happen in my home. Too much chewing for hubby. THIS recipe is cut just right. I am going to make it for sure.
I make a stir fry very similar to this (chicken with shrimp) except I've used pre-made sauce in the past. I'm going to try this tonight!
I got try this recipe. I've got most of the ingredients.
I want this very soon for supper! It looks so satisfying, crunchy, spicy and delicious! Love!
This looks fantastic! I was looking for a few healthy recipes before I hit the grocery store this afternoon, so the ingredients for this recipe are definitely getting picked up. Thanks for sharing!
I never think of using pork for a stirfry. I like the look of that sauce, I will try this one out for sure.
This looks both simple and delicious! Great for my busy weekdays!
you're just awesome. can't wait to see what recipes you come up with for summer!
Mmmm. I have been looking for new healthy chicken recipes (since I had to cut out all red meat) and this looks like something that I would love! Pinning this to make for sure!
