Teriyaki Pork Stir Fry

It’s time for another recipe swap hosted by Sarah at A Taste of Home Cooking!  I really love participating when I can because I enjoy looking at other blogger’s recipes and choosing something to make.  This time around I received Kate’s Recipe Box.  I had to laugh when I started looking at her recipes because we obviously have very similar tastes.  In fact, I counted at least 15 recipes that she has on her blog that I’ve made as well!

I had pork chops in the refrigerator ready to cook so I knew what I was looking for.  I found it in a teriyaki pork chop stir fry.  My husband really enjoys cabbage in stir fry and I liked the sound of the sauce so it was perfect.  It was also great for a weeknight meal because it cooked up quickly.

We ended up enjoying the flavor and the crunch of the vegetables.  I wasn’t thrilled with the carrots but I did enjoy the cabbage, celery, and broccoli in the stir fry.  The sauce was just slightly sweet and was really yummy.  I’ll definitely be making this stir fry again!
