Stir Fried Pork with Bok Choy and Noodles
Here is another quick and easy stir-fry recipe that tastes great. I usually make this with bok choy you will see from the photo that I used Gai Lan as my local Asian grocery store was out of bok choy, so I subbed it with the gai lan. It was still very good and worked just as well it is just we really love bok choy in my family, again as with most stir fries vegetable ingredients can be played around with, either to suit personal tastes or to use up vegetables in the fridge.

Ingredients

600g Pork fillet, sliced thinly

1/2 Teaspoon five spice powder

1 Red Pepper, sliced thinly
100g Snow peas, trimmed
200g Bean sprouts
