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!

I’m incredibly blessed that in my job I have the I’m incredibly blessed that in my job I have the opportunity to meet and get to know many different groups of people from every walk of life, but occasionally… there are certain ones who find a special place in your heart.

A gentleman I’ve been working with sent met copies of this in the mail yesterday and to say I (ugly) cried is probably an understatement. 

I’m not one to push politics (especially on social media) but all I want to say is this is why history matters. Your not going to find this sort of thing written in text books… but it is in the hearts and minds of a generation quickly fading away.

What is happening in the world is not just “news”. These are people’s lives. See the pain and affect this sort of war still has on a generation 75 plus years later. 

Context:
Picture 1- Poem written by my clients grandfather sometime after his son (client’s father) was KIA in WWII. The line that got me was… “It is just a sweet memory that chants the refrain… I’m glad I touched shoulders with you.” 😭 I think if you have ever lost someone dear to you… you can understand that line ❤️

Picture 2-3- Note from client to me on a copy of his dad’s obituary. I think it’s easy to sense how this sort of loss had an affect on multiple generations of a family.

It’s no secret I love to travel… and one of my It’s no secret I love to travel… and one of my favorite ways to experience new cultures is through the food.

Buy yourself the flowers. Light the ‘good’ ca Buy yourself the flowers.

Light the ‘good’ candle.

Put on a spritz of your favorite perfume, not because you are going out, but because it makes you feel special.

Open the expensive bottle of wine that you’ve been saving for the ‘perfect’ occasion, and drink it for no particular reason at all. 

Stop saying “we need to get together” to a dear friend and then never actually making plans.
Leave your sweatpants on, messy bun in, and just BE with each other. Curl up on the couch with their dogs, kids, etc and enjoy some leftover Chinese food while catching up on your favorite shows.

Life is messy and real. 
Stop living FOR the perfect and just LIVE.
Don’t wait.
Make the memories WITHIN the mess. 

That’s the mindset I’m trying to live in these days, and you know what? 

I’m happier for it! ❤️
