I want to sing from the rooftops about how good this Stir Fry turned out.  Sing like angels in the heavens.  Sadly though, I can’t carry a tune in my pocket.  It was good though, guys.Like epically, sing sonnets about it, GOOD.

As in, I ate the leftovers four meals in a row and was sad when it was gone.  My eight year old referred to it as “the crazy good stir fry” and my five year old helped himself to thirds.  Try it over cauliflower rice!Pork and Veggie Stir Fry - How to Velvet Meat

How to make Stir Fry

This stir fry recipe was originally  a sponsored post written by me on behalf of AllWhites Egg Whites. All opinions are 100% mine.Wish I could tell you that the recipe was outstanding thanks to my own genius, but the real secret is that I learned how to velvet my meat.

I know, it sounds really weird.  But it’s actually not at all weird and means the difference between a ‘meh’ dry stir fry meat and one that is tender and juicy to perfection.  Have you ever wondered why when you order Chinese food and it’s clearly made with white meat, it’s never dry?

But you try to recreate the recipe at home and you feel like you’re chewing cardboard?  VELVETING!!!  One simple step is all it takes.  Ah, how I wish I’d known about this years ago! Promise me you’ll try this at least once.  I think you’ll be shocked at the difference it makes in the authenticity of the flavor.

Pork and Veggie Stir Fry - How to Velvet Meat

Rather than separating a bunch of eggs, I used AllWhites Egg Whites.  Much less messy and then I don’t have to figure out what to do with all those yolks.  And it’s literally exactly what it claims to be – 100% egg whites.

That’s the only thing on the ingredient list!
