One of my favourite things about Chinese style takeout recipes is that you can so easily change things up! This Mongolian pork is a simple meat swap on the classic Mongolian Beef dish where the thin strips of beef are replaced with thin strips of pork! You can use pork tenderloin, pork loin or even pork should/butt. The recipe is just as easy to make as the original, where you stir-fry the pork, add the sauce and simmer for a minute to thicken before enjoying! I like to add a veggie and a diced bell pepper is easy to add to the pan to stir-fry with the pork!
