How to make pork chop stir-fry

This pork chop stir-fry is an impressive dish that's simple to make and ready in just a few easy steps:

  1. Boil a pot of water and cook ramen noodles 1 minute less than the package directions.
  2. Make the sauce by first adding the cornstarch, followed by all other sauce ingredients.
  3. Heat the oil in the pan and cook the pork chops until they start to brown. Remove from pan and set aside.
  4. Using the same pan, cook the vegetables for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add the pork and noodles back to the pan, pour the sauce over everything and cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce starts to thicken.
  6. Garnish with chopped cilantro and sesame seeds. That's it!

The full recipe instructions are in the recipe card below.

Basics of a great stir-fry

Stir-fry dishes are a quick and easy way to make a healthy meal. Ingredients cook quickly by heating a small amount of oil in a large frying pan or wok. Make sure to stir or toss continuously to evenly distribute the heat and prevent sticking. Stir-fry dishes are simple to make with these tips:

  • Prepare your ingredients – once things heat up, they move quickly so make sure the vegetables, meat, and sauce are ready to go.
  • Use a large frying pan or a wok – a large frying pan or wok has a large surface area making it ideal for stir-fries.
  • Make sure your pan is hot – the key to stir-frying is cooking ingredients at high heat for a short amount of time.
  • Use a small amount of oil – you don't need a lot; when it heats up, roll it around the pan to cover the surface and prevent sticking.
  • Slice the meat thinly – slicing meat thinly and against the grain will increase its tenderness.
  • Be careful not to overcook your vegetables – just 2-3 minutes; they will still have some crunch.
  • Thicken the sauce – adding cornstarch to the sauce (as this recipe does) thickens it which helps it stick to the noodles.
  • Garnish with aromatics – add cilantro, green onions, or other fresh aromatic herbs at the end for a fresh element.

Stir-fry variations to try

The great thing about stir-fries is how endlessly versatile they can be. Here are some variations to try:

  • Serve it with brown or white rice instead of noodles. There will be lots of tasty sauce to drizzle over the rice!
  • Try a different protein. Pork makes great stir-fry meat because it's easy to prepare, cooks quickly, and takes on the flavor of the sauce. Some other great stir-fry proteins to try are chicken breast, tender cuts of beef like sirloin or ribeye, salmon, shrimp, and tofu.
  • Mix up the vegetables. This recipe uses carrot, bell pepper, broccoli, snap peas, and mushroom but you can use 8 cups of your favorite quick-cooking vegetables. Some tasty vegetable ideas are:
    • Asparagus
    • Bean sprouts
    • Snow peas
    • Edamame
    • Zucchini
    • Onion
    • Corn
    • Cabbage
    • Leafy greens
    • Canned baby corn
    • Water chestnuts

FAQS

What can I use instead of honey?

Pure maple syrup would work well instead of honey as a sweetener.

Where can I find ramen noodles?

There are actually three different types of ramen noodles – fresh, dried, and fried. For this recipe, we used organic dry ramen noodles. Soup ramen noodles could also be used with the seasoning packets discarded. Fresh/frozen noodles are often found in the freezer aisle of the grocery store.

Can I use frozen vegetables?

In a pinch! We love using fresh vegetables in our stir-frys for flavor and texture. Note that using frozen vegetables will change the cooking time.

I don't want it to be too spicy. Can I customize the heat level?

Definitely! You can reduce the amount of chili garlic sauce or omit it for a milder stir-fry.

Can I make this gluten-free?

Yes, you can. You'll need to use a gluten-free soy sauce or tamari and a gluten-free noodle in place of the ramen. A wide rice noodle would work nicely.

4 servings

Ingredients

Stir Fry Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • ¼ cup tamari or Japanese soy sauce
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce (or a pinch of chili flakes)

Pork Chop Stir Fry

  • 8 ounces ramen noodles
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 lb boneless pork chops (thinly sliced against the grain)
  • 2 medium carrots (thinly sliced)
  • 1 medium red pepper (thinly sliced)
  • 2 cups snap peas (sliced in half if large)
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • ¼ cup minced ginger
  • 4 large garlic cloves (minced)
  • Sesame seeds and minced cilantro (to serve)

Instructions 

  • Bring a medium-sized pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the ramen and cook for 1 minute less than the package directions – the noodles will cook more in the sauce. Drain the noodles and rinse them well under cold water.

  • While the water is heating, make the sauce. Add the cornstarch to a 2-cup measuring cup. Add a little of the beef stock and mix to dissolve the cornstarch. Add the remaining stir fry sauce ingredients and mix again.

  • Return the cooked pork chops to the pan and add the cooked noodles. Stir the sauce then pour it into the pan. Mix the noodles around gently using tongs until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes. Serve topped with sesame seeds and minced cilantro.
