Instructions

  1. Prep all ingredients before heating the pan. Thinly slice about 5 cups Organic Napa Cabbage ($1.99). Trim and halve about 8 ounces Shanghai Baby Bok Choy Asian Salad ($4.99 package, use about half). Slice 1 package 365 Mushroom Baby Bella Slcd 8Oz Cv ($2.79) if pieces are large. Thinly slice 3 Organic Green Onions ($1.79). Finely chop 1 small Organic Green Jalapeno Pepper ($4.99) if you want heat. Cut 1 Lime ($0.59) into wedges.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 package 365 by Whole Foods Market Ground Pork NAE, 16 OZ ($5.99). Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, breaking it up, until browned and cooked through.
  3. Add the sliced mushrooms from 1 package 365 Mushroom Baby Bella Slcd 8Oz Cv ($2.79), the chopped jalapeno if using, and the white parts of the 3 sliced Organic Green Onions ($1.79). Cook for 3 minutes until the mushrooms soften.
  4. Add 5 cups sliced Organic Napa Cabbage ($1.99) and 8 ounces Shanghai Baby Bok Choy Asian Salad ($4.99 package). Stir-fry for 4 to 5 minutes until wilted but still bright. Season with 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari from pantry, 2 tablespoons water, and the juice of half the Lime ($0.59).
  5. Taste and adjust with a little more lime juice from the remaining half Lime ($0.59) and black pepper. Scatter the green parts of the 3 Organic Green Onions over the top.
  6. Serve as a complete bowl-style meal for 2, or over pantry rice if you have it. Drink pairing: dry Riesling for freshness or Pinot Noir for a gentle red option.

Health notes: Approx. 430-540 calories per serving. Protein-rich and loaded with cruciferous vegetables. To keep sodium in check, season lightly and finish with citrus instead of extra salt.

Drink pairing: Try a dry Riesling for its acidity and slight fruit, or a Pinot Noir if you want a lighter red that can handle the earthy mushrooms and savory pork.
