So this is what it looks like when it comes OUT of the freezer. I forgot to get a picture after it had been prepared for dinner but I promise you this is one of my absolute favorite freezer meals. The first time I made it I thought it tasted like Chinese takeout. Who wouldn't love that?
More freezer recipes soon to come!
Garlic Pork Stir-Fry (makes 2 entrees, 4-6 servings each)
4 lbs pork loin or tenderloin
3/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
4 teaspoons minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 large onions cut into 2-inch pieces
2 large green bell peppers cut into 2-inch pieces
2 one-gallon freezer bags, labeled
6 one-quart freezer bags
Label each gallon bag with meal name, date and cooking instructions with a permanent marker.
Rinse and trim pork as desired. Cut into bite-size pieces; divide evenly between 2 of the 1-quart bags. Seal.
Whisk together soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar in a small bowl. Divide evenly among 2 more of the 1-quart bags. Into each bag measure 2 teaspoons garlic and 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper. Seal.
Divide onions and bell peppers evenly between the remaining 1-quart bags. Seal. Into each of the labeled one gallon bags, place a bag of pork, a bag of sauce, and a bag of peppers and onions. Seal and freeze.
Cooking Instructions:
Completely thaw in refrigerator. Pour off and discard any liquid from pork. Add 1/2 cup cornstarch to bag; seal and shake to coat. Heat 2 tsp oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add pork and stir-fry about 10 minutes. Add veggies and sauce. Stir fry just until veggies are tender crisp.
I made this last week and it was great! I made one to eat and one to freeze.
