Wok – pork and veggies

Gluten-freeLow carbPaleoLunchDinner

We often cook this during the week because it is quick to make and yummy. And because we like asian cuisine. And it has just a few ingredients.

Use a simple wok pan, not a fancy one. It should be round, made of steel and should have no coating – no anti-slip, ceramics or other coating. This is essential since we cook with it on very high temperatures. The coating would burn and peel sooner or later and you’ll end up eating it.

Prepare

(10 minutes)

wok pork and veggies – prepare
  • 1.wash the pak choi and slice it. The hard parts go in one bowl while the greens in another.
  • 2.wash the pepper and cut it coarse. Place it in a bowl.
  • 3.wash the mushrooms and cut them as you see fit. The ones I used were too beautiful to cut so I let them whole.
  • 4.peel the onion and chop it coarse, like the pepper.
  • 5.peel the ginger and chop it in small pieces.
  • 6.peel the garlic and cut it in 4.

wok pork and veggies – plating

Start with plating for kids, as usual. Since mine hate having the food mixed, I place the veggies in the plate and the meat aside.

For the grown ups make a bed of veggies and place the meat on top, like in the picture here.
Bon appetit!
