I absolutely LOVE pork, it makes me think of autumn weekend meals, (like my Instant Pot Pulled Pork) and I’m always wittering on on my Instagram stories on Sundays about my love of roast pork.
BUT I realised recently that I hardly ever cook pork during the week or during other times of the year. It dawned on me, that I wasn’t even quite sure how to, as every cut of pork I use is cooked slowly.
I was invited by the people at Love Pork to have a lesson with the lovely Dumpling Sisters to learn how to make a super fast and simple Pork Stir Fry recipe.
It was SUCH a fun afternoon, you can watch the video of my lesson and how to make this Pork Stir Fry recipe below.
How do you marinate pork for pork stir fry?
It’s surprisingly easy to marinate (or marinade!) pork strips for a Pork Stir Fry.
This recipe uses a delicious combination of soy sauce and white pepper for flavour and warmth, plus cornflour to add a coating to the meat and bicarbonate of soda to tenderise the meat.
I learned from the Dumpling Sisters, that the meat only needs to be in the marinade for a short period of time for it to make a difference. Perfect for quick midweek meals.
How do you make pork stir fry?
Pork Stir Fry is so easy to make using strips of pork medallions as they cook so quickly.
Just flash fry your pork meat strips, add vegetables and your sauce plus cooked noodles and you are good to go.
How do you make pork stir fry with noodles?
To make a Pork Stir Fry with noodles, cook your noodles until just al dente. (You can also rinse them in cold water when you drain them to stop them cooking if you like.)
Then add them to your cooked pork, vegetables and sauce to warm through and let them soak up the sauce.
What kind of pork do you use for pork stir fry?
Pork medallions are perfect for Pork Stir Fry as they are super quick to cook when cut into thin strips. They are also really lean and tender. You can find pork medallions in all supermarkets or your local butcher.
They work best in Pork Stir Fry when cut into thin 1cm x 1cm strips. You can read more about pork medallions here on the Love Pork website.
I also really like pork mince in stir fry recipes, cook it until it’s crispy and browned all over before adding your vegetables.

Tips for cooking the Pork Stir Fry recipe:
- Be sure not to over cook your pork. Pork medallions cook really quickly.
- Even if you only have a spare 10 minutes, don’t skip the marinade step! It really makes a difference.
- Make sure your oil in your pan is super hot before you start cooking.
- Don’t move the pork around too much when you first add it to the pan. Allow it to form a crispy coating.
