Elevate your pork mince stir fry with a variety of enhancements. Enhance the umami with a dash of fish sauce and add depth with fresh ginger and red chilli for a spicy kick. Adjust spice levels by controlling the amount of chilli used or adding a pinch of red pepper flakes. Create a flavourful sauce with a blend of soy sauce, oyster sauce, and a hint of sesame oil. Serve this vibrant stir fry over noodles or rice for a satisfying meal. Pair with steamed green beans or stir-fried vegetables for added texture and freshness. For an extra touch, top with a fried egg for richness and a creamy finish. Customise your stir fry with these additions to suit your taste preferences and enjoy a deliciously balanced dish.
Achieving a delicious pork mince stir fry starts with the right cooking techniques. Use a wok or a large skillet over medium-high heat to quickly stir fry the pork mince and vegetables. The high heat helps to sear the meat quickly, retaining its juices and ensuring a nice caramelisation. If using a saucepan, ensure it's large enough to accommodate all ingredients without overcrowding, which can lead to steaming rather than stir frying. Stir fry the pork mince until it's fully cooked and nicely browned, typically around 5-7 minutes. Be mindful not to overcook to keep the meat tender and juicy. Prepare all ingredients ahead of time and have them ready to add to the pan in quick succession for a fresh and flavorful stir fry. Adjust seasoning and sauce levels according to taste preferences for a perfect balance of flavours.

You don't necessarily need a wok to cook a pork mince stir fry, but it can be beneficial. A wok's design allows for even heat distribution and quick cooking due to its sloped sides and large surface area. This helps in achieving the characteristic stir fry technique of cooking ingredients over high heat with constant stirring.
If you don't have a wok, you can still make a delicious stir fry using a large skillet or frying pan. Choose a pan with a flat bottom and preferably with high sides to prevent ingredients from spilling over during stirring. Heat the skillet over medium-high to high heat and cook the pork mince in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding and ensure proper browning.
Ultimately, while a wok is traditional and useful for stir frying, a skillet or frying pan can also yield excellent results with proper technique and attention to heat control. Adjust your cooking method based on the equipment available and enjoy your pork mince stir fry with your preferred cooking vessel.
Yes, it's advisable to fry or brown the pork mince before adding it to the stir-fry. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add a small amount of oil if necessary. Cook the pork mince in batches to avoid overcrowding, breaking up any clumps with a spatula or spoon, until it is fully cooked through and nicely browned, about 5-7 minutes. This step enhances the flavour by caramelising the meat and improves its texture. Once cooked, remove the pork mince from the pan and set it aside while you prepare the vegetables and sauce for the stir-fry. Incorporating this step ensures the pork mince adds a deliciously savoury element to your dish, contributing to a well-rounded stir-fry experience. Adjust cooking time and methods as needed based on your recipe and preferences.
To prevent your pork mince stir-fry from becoming too oily, start with a modest amount of oil, typically 1-2 tablespoons, and ensure ingredients like meat are dry before adding them to the pan to minimise splattering and excess grease. Cook over high heat for quick cooking, which helps evaporate the oil faster and prevents it from soaking into the food. If you notice excessive oil in the pan during cooking, use a slotted spoon to remove some. Incorporate absorbent ingredients like tofu or vegetables that can help soak up excess oil. Instead of adding more oil, finish the stir-fry with a flavorful sauce that coats the ingredients without additional grease. These techniques will help you achieve a lighter, less oily stir-fry while maintaining delicious flavour and texture. Adjust methods and ingredients according to your taste and dietary preferences

Step 1.
Cut the cabbage half in half again through the root and use a sharp knife or potato peeler to really finely slice it. Tip into a bowl and dress with the sesame oil, rice vinegar, pinch of sugar and a pinch of salt. Toss well.
Step 2.
Peel the ginger, then cut into slices, then matchsticks, then finely chop. Finely chop the garlic. Cut the spring onions into 4cm pieces.
Step 3.
Drizzle a large frying pan or wok with a little vegetable oil and set over a high heat. Add the pork mince to the pan and break up a little with a wooden spoon. Leave to fry for 2 mins, then flip and break up again. Scatter in the sesame seeds and 4cm pieces of spring onion and continue frying the mince for another 2 mins until starting to get nice and crisp. Add in the ginger and garlic and cook for 2 mins until smelling amazing.
Step 4.
Turn the heat to low and spoon in the miso, soy sauce and water. Mix really well and cook for 1 min until the mince is glossy and coated in the sauce.
Step 5.
Spoon rice onto plates and top with some of the crispy, saucy mince. Add a pile of the cabbage to the side and top with the finely sliced spring onion and some more sesame seeds.
