This stir-fry was a disaster! The sauce was too salty and the pork was overcooked.

The pork was a bit tough. I think I should have cooked it for a little longer.

This stir-fry was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and ginger and it was much better.

I found that the sauce was a bit too thick. I added a little water to thin it out and it was perfect.

This stir-fry was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. Next time, I'll use less chili pepper.

This stir-fry was easy to make and very tasty. I used chicken instead of pork and it was still delicious.

This cashew pork stir-fry was a hit with my family! The pork was tender and flavorful, and the cashews added a nice crunch. I will definitely be making this again.
