Pork & Shiitake Mushroom Stir Fry
SERVES 4 // READY IN 15 MINS // 490 CALS
I make this when I want something quick but not boring. The pork cooks fast, the mushrooms add a bit of depth, and the sauce has that nice mix of tangy and spicy without being over the top. It’s light but filling, and the rice noodles make it feel like proper dinner without the faff.
