Ginger Pork & Napa Cabbage Stir-Fry

A well-organized and clearly written stir-fry recipe that effectively uses bulleted lists and overlapping preparation times, with only a minor under-seasoning issue for the rice.

Score: 9/10

Suggested fixes

  • Increase the salt in the rice from 1/4 teaspoon to 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt to achieve the 1% target for grains.
  • Update the total fine sea salt in the ingredient list from 1 teaspoon to 1 1/2 teaspoons, divided.

Issues

  • low / flavor: The 1/4 teaspoon of salt used for the rice and water yields about a 0.3% salinity, which falls short of the recommended 1% starting point for grains.

Strengths

  • Excellent use of properly formatted bulleted lists for the vegetable preparation and sauce mixing.
  • Accurate and clear temperature target (160°F) for ground pork, following the Careme guide.
  • Great parallel tasking by having the cook prepare the vegetables and sauce while the pork marinates and the rice cooks.
  • Ingredient splitting and usage amounts perfectly match the exact totals in the ingredient list.
