Instructions
- Start rice if you don’t already have cooked rice ready (or use microwaveable rice).
- Prep bok choy: slice off the very bottom nub, then chop stems into 1/2-inch pieces and leaves into larger bite-size pieces (keep separate).
- Stir together soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar/honey, and a splash of water (2 Tbsp). Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil, then pork. Cook, breaking up, until browned and cooked through, 6–8 minutes.
- Add onion, ginger, and garlic. Cook 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add bok choy stems first. Stir-fry 2 minutes.
- Add bok choy leaves and the sauce. Toss 1–2 minutes until leaves wilt and everything is glossy. Finish with sesame oil (optional) and black pepper. Add chili to taste.
- Serve the pork-bok choy stir-fry over rice.
Health notes: ~700 calories/person (depends on rice portion). High protein; bok choy adds vitamins and crunch. Moderate-high sodium if soy sauce is heavy—use low-sodium soy or dilute with a splash of water.
Drink pairing: Beer: a light pilsner. Wine: off-dry Riesling or Pinot Gris to play nicely with ginger and soy.
