Pork with Caramelized Mushrooms & Green Beans

No one will believe this Asian-inspired pork and green bean stir fry is not only low on sodium, but low in fat as well!

I found this recipe leafing through a monthly magazine published by my local supermarket. You get it free if you spend more than $25–HAH, I always do!

In the past, I never found anything that really interested me until this month. It was this recipe that caught my eye because I love green beans and pork and especially sriracha because of it’s great flavor.

You won’t believe it’s actually healthy!

I have to say that I will try most anything I find interesting but sometimes the anticipation is better than the realization with such things. Given that this dish is low sodium and low fat, I wasn’t expecting it to actually be a keeper.

All I can say is WOW…this is really good! And yes, it’s well worth doing the couple of things like caramelizing the mushrooms and browning the pork separately. The recipe actually suggested using separate pans, but I HATE to wash dishes, so I just used the same one for the mushrooms and pork.

Serve with some jasmine rice

Another thing I changed was I did not use cooking spray to do the mushrooms. I pretty much despise that substance except for using it to “grease” baking pans and a nice olive oil tastes way better than silicone and it is all natural.

What I did here was buy some cheaper pork chops and grind the meat using my grinding attachment to my stand mixer. It’s a lot more economical and you can control the amount of fat that’s in the meat.

So enjoy this…I really did. And serving it with jasmine rice really kicks it up a notch.
