Ground pork and rice is a delicious, versatile meal that can be enjoyed in many ways. It can be used as a main dish, served over a bed of lettuce, or even stuffed into a wrap or burrito. But, in the case of this recipe, we have decided to turn it into a delicious stir-fry. This delicious and simple stir-fry is based on a classic Thai dish seasoned with garlic, shallots, soy sauce, brown sugar, and fish sauce. The pickled cucumber salad adds a refreshing flavour along with the herbs, and the rice balances everything perfectly.
If you’ve never added fish sauce to a recipe, it’s time to try it! Although it technically gets its flavour from fish, it adds a burst of umami flavour that’s anything but fishy. In this recipe, when combined with salty soy sauce and the sweetness of brown sugar, it gives the pork a balanced taste that you’ll crave again and again.
Fish sauce is made from salted anchovies or other types of fish that have been fermented for up to two years. The sauce is usually associated with Southeast Asian dishes, specifically in countries like Thailand and Vietnam. With just a few drops of this sauce, your dish can go from bland to spectacular.
With this Chicken, Broccoli, and Pineapple Stir-Fry we make the typical chicken and broccoli combo a bit more exciting by adding some delicious and sweet pineapples. The sweet and savoury combo is the perfect duo. Made with all your favourite ingredients, this meal will soon become your number one go-to stir-fry recipe.
A delight for the taste buds, this delicious blend of chicken, broccoli and pineapple will have you smiling at the dinner table tonight!
