Sweet & Savory Shiitake Mushroom, Green Pepper, and Pork Belly Stir-fry Sweet & Savory Shiitake Mushroom, Green Pepper, and Pork Belly Stir-fry
This recipe originated from the "Sweet & Salty Green Pepper Stir-fry" recipe which I used to make for my children's lunch all the time. Then one day, I thought that they didn't have enough meat in their lunch, so I added pork belly and the flavor became so much better! Then I decided to add shiitake mushrooms in order to increase the volume and the nutrition content, and because they go well with a sweet & savory stir-fry.Steps 3-4: As the liquid decreases, it may start to burn, so adjust the heat accordingly.Rather than waiting until the liquid evaporates completely, it's best to stop the heat once it becomes slightly thickened.I use an induction stove top.
