Tips:

  • Preparing the Pork: Slice the pork against the grain into thin strips for tender and flavorful results. Alternatively, use pre-sliced pork for convenience.
  • Selecting the Grapefruits: Choose ripe, juicy grapefruits with a vibrant color for a burst of citrusy flavor. Ruby red or pink grapefruits offer a sweeter taste compared to white grapefruits.
  • Citrus Zest and Juice: Zest and juice the grapefruits beforehand to save time during cooking. Store any remaining zest and juice for later use in other recipes.
  • Sauce Ingredients: Combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and sesame oil to prepare a flavorful sauce. Adjust the proportions to your taste preference.
  • Cooking Technique: Stir-frying allows for quick cooking and preservation of the vegetables' crisp texture. Heat the oil over high heat to achieve a sear on the pork and vegetables.
  • Adding Aromatics: Enhance the dish's flavor by sautéing garlic, ginger, and green onions before adding the main ingredients.
  • Citrus Addition: Add grapefruit segments towards the end of cooking to prevent them from breaking down completely. This maintains their shape and texture.
  • Garnish and Serving: Sprinkle chopped cilantro or green onions over the finished dish for a pop of color and freshness. Serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles.
