Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add 1 lb pork back rib tips and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until browned on all sides and cooked through.
  2. Step 2: Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger to the wok, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Pour in 3 tbsp gluten-free soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp sesame oil, and sprinkle 1/2 tsp red chili flakes if using. Toss to coat the rib tips and cook for 2 more minutes until the sauce thickens and glazes the meat.
  4. Step 4: Stir in 4 sliced scallions and cook for an additional minute before removing from heat. Serve immediately over steamed rice or greens.
