Number Of Ingredients 12

1 fresh green chile, sliced, or chili paste or crushed red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons peanut oil or other vegetable oil (not olive oil)
2 garlic cloves, minced (1 tablespoon)
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
2 scallions (both white and green parts), minced (about 3 tablespoons)
3 ounces boneless pork, such as shoulder or loin, cut into 2 x 1/2-inch strips
1 cup shredded bok choy or other similar green vegetable
1 1/2 cups cooked jasmine or basmati rice
Sprigs of fresh cilantro, for garnish
1/2 cucumber, peeled and cubed
1 or 2 fresh lime wedges for garnish

Steps:

  • Combine the chile and 2 tablespoons of the fish sauce in a small dipping bowl. Set aside. Heat a well-seasoned wok or frying pan over high heat. Add the oil and almost immediately add the garlic, ginger, and 2 tablespoons of scallions. Stir constantly for about 40 seconds. Be careful not to burn the mixture. Add the pork and continue to stir for 3 minutes, or until the pork is no longer pink.
  • Stir in the bok choy and cook until it is just tender, a couple of minutes. Stir in the cooked rice. Add the remaining tablespoon of fish sauce and heat through, about 2 minutes.
  • Serve immediately, garnish with cilantro, cucumber, the remaining tablespoon of scallion, and the lime. Serve the dipping sauce on the side.

I added some shrimp to this recipe and it was delicious! The shrimp cooked perfectly in the sauce and added a nice protein boost.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less chili paste next time.
