Low Sodium Pork And Veggie Stir Fry Recipes

EASY PORK STIR FRY RECIPE (LOW CARB)

Steps:

• Preparation: Mince a clove of garlic. Cut a 1 inch piece of ginger and peel the thin skin with a spoon. Mince the ginger and add it to the garlic. Cut the pork loin into thin strips and mix with 1 tbsp. oil and the ginger and garlic.
• Cut the red bell pepper into strips and place into the bottom of a medium bowl. Cut the green onions (scallions) into 2 inch pieces, including some of the green stems and add them to the bowl. Cut the broccoli florets into large bite sized pieces, layering them on top.
• Add the sweetener and cornstarch (arrowroot) to a small bowl and mix together. Stir in the Tamari soy sauce, dry sherry and sesame oil.
• Method: Place the wok over high heat. It's ready when a drop of water skips across the surface. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and quickly tilt the wok to coat all surfaces. Pour out the remaining oil. Place the wok back onto the heat and begin adding the pork to the sides and bottom of the pan. Leave the pork undisturbed until it has cooked half way through; the bottom half will turn white. Stir the pork and cook until it is almost cooked through. Remove from the pan to the serving bow.
• Dump the bowl of vegetables into the wok with the broccoli in the bottom. Cover with a lid and cook for 1 minute. Stir the vegetables and add the pork and any juices back to the pan. Stir the pork and vegetables together. Stir the stir fry sauce and pour it over the pork and vegetables. Push the pork stir fry to the sides and let the sauce boil at the bottom of the wok, stirring occasionally for several seconds until the sauce thickens.
• If you would like the sauce a little thicker, remove the stir fried pork and vegetables to the serving bowl and let the sauce cook a little longer. Pour the sauce over the stir fry when it reaches your desired level of thickness. Serve.

PORK STIR FRY

Steps:

• Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha, and cornstarch. Set aside.
• Heat the avocado oil in a large, deep skillet (or wok) over medium-high heat. Add the pork strips and the onions and stir-fry until the meat is no longer raw, 5-7 minutes.
• Add the pepper slices, garlic and ginger, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
• Give the sauce a quick additional mix (the cornstarch tends to settle in the bottom). Lower the heat to medium and stir the sauce into the skillet. Cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens, about 3 minutes. As soon as it has thickened, remove the skillet from the heat.
• Transfer the stir-fry to a serving platter. Drizzle with sesame oil, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve.

STIR-FRIED VEGETABLES WITH CHICKEN OR PORK

Steps:

• Heat oil in a wok or large heavy skillet. Add chicken or pork (see Cook's Note), garlic, and oyster sauce, and stir-fry for 10 minutes.
• Stir in broccoli, green pepper, carrots, cabbage, celery, bean sprouts, zucchini, and green onions. Season with salt, and stir-fry for 6 to 8 minutes.
• In a small bowl, mix together water, soy sauce and cornstarch. Stir into vegetables, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until sauce is thickened.

LOW SODIUM BEEF STIR FRY (SPICY NOODLES)

Steps:

• Mix together marinade ingredients in a medium container that can be covered. (Tupperware bowl). Add beef slices and coat in marinade. Marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes or cover and refrigerate until ready to use if marinating longer than 30 minutes.
• Cook the noodles according to package directions or to basically just loosen up. They should take just a couple of minutes. Take care not to overcook as you want the noodles to soak up sauce during final cooking. Noodles come packaged curled over you can break them at the fold for an easier length to work with.
• Heat 1 ½ teaspoons vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat until hot and shimmering. Add enough of the beef slices to the skillet to cook in a single layer, cook without stirring for 1 minute, then flip beef over and sear just until browned, about 1-2 minutes. Do not overcook, it will still cook some more later, or it won't be as tender! You're just looking to brown it a bit here. Transfer beef into a bowl or plate and cover. Repeat with remaining beef slices as necessary.
• Once beef is removed to the now empty pan add 2 teaspoons sesame oil over medium high heat. Add the onions, carrots and mushrooms and sauté for 3 minutes while stirring often. Add the bell peppers just at the end and stir-fry until crisp tender. I like the peppers crisp therefore I barely cook them.
• Reduce heat to medium low. Add the noodles, beef and remaining sauce and cook while stirring to mix well and until noodles are warmed and sauce has thickened slightly, 4-5 minutes. Add spinach toss and cook and stir one minute, or just until spinach begins to wilt.
• Taste and add additional hot chili oil if desired for more heat.
• Garnish on top of serving with green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
