Korean-Inspired Pork & Napa Cabbage Stir-Fry
A well-structured and excellently seasoned stir-fry recipe that only falters by applying intact-roast resting and temperature-probing techniques to thinly sliced stir-fry meat.
Score: 8/10
Suggested fixes
- In step 8, remove the target temperature and resting period. Instruct the cook to toss until the sauce coats everything and the pork is cooked through, then proceed immediately to serving.
Issues
- medium / cookability: Temping thinly sliced pork in a fast-paced stir-fry is impractical, and a 3-minute rest will unnecessarily steam and soften the quick-cooked vegetables.
Strengths
- Perfectly applies the salt scaling rules, accurately identifying the need for 7/8 tsp Morton kosher salt for 12 oz of pork and balancing the vegetable salt with the soy sauce.
- Groups preparations logically at the beginning of the instructions.
- Correctly formats a bulleted list for the 5-ingredient stir-fry sauce mixture.
- Clearly identifies exact quantities as ingredients are used.
