If you have a big skillet and a couple of ingredients, dinner is pretty much done.

I pull out my 12-inch non-stick skillet every single day for one thing or another — quesadillas, an amazing lamb-spelt dish, cheesy gnocchi, weeknight shrimp, even granola!

We’re going Asian tonight, with the help of the new McCormick Sesame Chicken Stir-Fry Sauce. We’re adding some chopped Asian vegetables (either use a bagged version or chop your own as I did here, using snow peas, carrots and Shanghai bok choy).  I changed it from chicken to pork (just because I had ground pork on sale to use up), and in well under half an hour, we’ll have a delicious after-work dinner without having to resort to take-out.Sesame Pork Stir-Fry Bowl | easy skillet supper recipe with vegetables|ShockinglyDelicious.com

Sesame Pork Stir-Fry Bowl | easy skillet supper recipe with vegetables|ShockinglyDelicious.comIf you don’t have leftover rice (you should ALWAYS have leftover rice around!), put the rice on to cook the second you walk in the door, and you’ll be all set. If you’re lower-carbing it, serve this in lettuce cups.

The key to skillet dinners is big flavors. These packaged sauces allow you to pick your favorite protein, add some appropriate vegetables, and toss in the flavorful sauce for the final touch. This same Chicken Stir-Fry Sauce is versatile for so many things besides chicken (or pork, as I show today). It works like a charm for a Beef & Broccoli Stir-Fry, or I can envision it with some tofu steaks and bok choy.

Sesame Pork Stir-Fry Bowl

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 25 minutes

Yield: 4 servings

Easy pork and vegetable stir-fry makes a perfect after-work skillet supper. Serve over rice or in lettuce cups if you're going lower-carb.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 4 cups cut up Asian vegetables (packaged, or slice your own baby bok choy, snow peas, cabbage, etc.)
  • 1 pound lean ground pork
  • 1 (9-ounce) package McCormick Sesame Chicken Stir-Fry Skillet Sauce
  • Hot cooked rice (enough for 4 people; or use lettuce cups instead)
  • Garnish: Chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

  1. Put the rice on to cook the minute you walk in the door if you don't have leftover rice at the ready.
  2. Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add vegetables and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until crisp-tender. Remove from pan into a bowl and reserve.
  3. Add pork to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, for 3-5 minutes, until cooked through. Add sauce to the pan, stir to combine and bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, 1 minute, until heated through.
  4. Portion hot cooked rice into bowls, top with reserved cooked vegetables, spoon Sesame Pork over the top, and garnish with fresh chopped cilantro if you wish. Dig in!
  5. Serves 4.

We always have left over rice that could use a little extra something to make it special! McCormick seasoning would be a great addition!

Leftover rice is the start of many a fine dinner. 🙂

Now that is a convenient meal! We adore Asian food, but I admit to lacking creativity with the sauces sometimes – this would really mix things up!

Alisa,
Righto! This sauce made the whole meal a no-brainer for me.

Love all the great fresh veggies you paired with the pork and yummy sauce! So bright and flavorful!

Thanks Brianne! Sometimes I like to just rummage for whatever is colorful from the veggie drawer, don’t you?

Tammi @Momma's Meals February 6, 2015 at 5:57 am

Oh I love a good stir-fry! I never make it with pork because I never think of it, now I must!

Pork makes this so good.

This looks fantastic! Love the use of pork in this recipe and I agree with you that leftover rice is always a great thing to have on hand in the fridge. I really need to start cooking with bok choy. It’s such a pretty vegetable and yet I never purchase it. You’ve inspired me, Dorothy!

Reply

Dorothy Reinhold February 7, 2015 at 7:48 am

Renee,
Thanks, and I so agree about baby bok choy. In addition to being pretty, it is also one of the most nutrient-dense veggies!

Love stir fry for an easy weeknight meal! The bright colors of the veggies are gorgeous. I will have to see if these new spice packets are gluten-free – the flavors look great.

Dorothy Reinhold February 7, 2015 at 7:48 am

Erin,
I believe they might have trace gluten.
