Sweet and Sour Pork Stir Fry

April 15, 2020 by My Farmhouse Table Leave a Comment

Sweet and Sour Pork Stir Fry

First off, I hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend! Ours was wonderful even without being able to get together with extended family members plus enduring a nice ice and wind storm Sunday evening. That ice and wind storm caused an electric pole just down the road from us to blow over, catch fire, and knock out the neighborhood power for about 3 hours. An eventful Easter we won’t soon forget. Usually, in the week after Easter I make sure to share a recipe that uses up the leftover ham now chilling in your fridge, but today I’m switching it up. We are diving into one of my favorite take out- fake outs, Sweet and Sour Pork Stir Fry.

With the social distancing going on right now, something I am really missing out on is great Chinese food (not that you can’t get a meal to go, but that would defeat the purpose of me being a complete homebody).

If it wasn’t for the occasional grocery run every couple of weeks, homebody is a pretty great definition of the last month of my life.

Not that I am complaining, I was made for this sort of thing.

But when I am missing some of my favorite restaurant eats like Panera Broccoli Cheese Soup, Dairy Queen Ice Cream Cake, Chipotle Chicken, or Runza sandwiches I just make my own homemade version.

Including one of this blogs most popular recipes, Better Than Takeout Sesame Chicken.

It is good y’all. This pork stir fry is on that same level of deliciousness.

Just serve the pork over some steamed white rice and a side of roasted broccoli or stir fry vegetables.

Your take out- fake out is complete.

And absolutely delicious!
