Pork & Broccoli Slaw Stir Fry

Get this speedy broccoli slaw stir fry from https://meatified.com that's packed full of flavor & totally AIP on the table in 30 minutes or less. Perfect for weeknights & hangry times!Because I’m a recovering perfectionist who over analyzes literally everything, I know that I’m prone to share the recipes that I’m most proud of here on the blog.

There’s nothing wrong with that in itself. Except, you know, the fact that it takes an awful lot of mental maneuvering on my part to classify something I’ve made as something I’m proud of. Because, recurrent perfectionism. So I’ve realized that means I forget about – and when I’m being the worst to myself in my head, I dismiss as “not good enough” – the more every day meals that I make and eat at home on the regular.

Like this speedy and not-as-pretty, but dang delicious, pork & broccoli slaw stir fry.

You can – and I do – vary the protein with whatever you have to hand or is on sale, of course. The pork I tend to buy as chops and slice myself because it’s cheaper that way. The broccoli slaw stir fry base can be made by shredding up your own broccoli stems (so many people throw those away after using the florets, but you can save them for a recipe just like this) or save some time by picking up the pre shredded bags of broccoli slaw at the store.

The best part of this pork & broccoli slaw stir fry recipe is that it’s not just simple and adaptable, but the whole thing can be on the table in 30 minutes or less. In fact, the cooking part happens so fast that this is one of the few times I’ll stress that you’ll want to prep everything before you plan on dropping the ingredients into hot skillet land.

Pork & Broccoli Slaw Stir Fry

Get this speedy broccoli slaw stir fry that’s packed full of flavor & totally AIP on the table in 30 minutes or less. Perfect for weeknights & hangry times! This dish comes together & cooks speedily, so make sure to set everything out ready to go before you fire up your stovetop!

  • Author: Rachael Bryant / Meatified
  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4
  • Method: stovetop

Ingredients

Scale
  • stems from 2 heads of broccoli (save florets for another use, see notes)
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp / 90 ml coconut aminos, divided
  • 2 tbsp / 30 ml honey, divided
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 2-inch piece fresh ginger
  • 1 pound / 454 g pork stir-fry strips (about 1⁄4-inch thick)
  • 2 teaspoons arrowroot starch
  • 1 small onion
  • 1/2 pound / 225 g white or cremini mushrooms
  • 4 green onions
  • coconut or avocado oil
  • handful of fresh cilantro

Instructions

1. Shred broccoli stems using food processor.

2. Add 2 tablespoons / 30 milliliters coconut aminos and 1 tablespoon / 15 milliliters honey to a bowl large enough to marinate the pork strips.

3. Peel and mince the garlic. Peel and grate the ginger.

4. Add half of the minced garlic and about a third of the grated ginger to the marinade bowl. Add the pork strips to that bowl and toss to evenly coat in the marinade.

5. In a second smaller bowl, add the arrowroot starch, then whisk in 4 tablespoons coconut aminos, 1 tablespoon honey, and remaining minced garlic and ginger. Set this stir-fry sauce aside for later.

6. Slice onion and mushrooms into 1⁄4-inch slices. Chop the green onions, separating the green and white parts.

7. Heat a large flat bottom wok over medium-high heat, so it is hot but not smoking. Add 1 tablespoon / 15 milliliters oil and cook pork in single layer until it is only just cooked through, about 3 minutes total, flipping only once. Transfer the cooked pork to a bowl and wipe out the wok with a paper towel.

8. Add 2 tablespoons / 30 milliliters oil to the wok. Add onion and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add mushrooms and stir-fry until they are barely cooked and glossy, about 1 minute.

9. Add the sauce from step 5 and cook, until it has thickened and reduced by about half, about 30 seconds.

10. Add the broccoli slaw and stir-fry until it is bright green but still very crisp, about 1 minute. Return the cooked pork and add white parts of the sliced green onions to the wok, stirring to combine. Cook until the pork has warmed through and the broccoli slaw is barely softened, about 1 minute. Turn off heat and place in serving dishes.

11. Garnish with green onion pieces and cilantro.

Notes

To save even more time, use a 12 ounce package of pre-shredded broccoli slaw.

  1. Would really love this site, but there are so many damnable adds from every imaginable source that most of every page is taken up by garbage. Too bad.

    1. Hi Deb,

      To be honest, I wish I could afford to run this site without ads at all, but I’m just not in a financial position to be able to do that. However, I also don’t want any ads served to be as overwhelming as you described, either! When I test the site out on my desktop, I don’t have the same cluttered feel you describe, so it would be helpful if you could perhaps reply and let me know what type of and size device you’re using the view the site? I’m wondering if it’s an issue on smaller screens that I might be able to rectify for you, because I hate the idea of the site being so visually cluttered and difficult to navigate as you describe. All the best, Rach
