Pork and Imitation Crab Stir Fry
Pork and Imitation Crab Stir Fry offers a great combination of land and sea proteins in a tasty and attractive stir fry. It is easy to prepare and relatively inexpensive. You can use pork stew meat or boneless pork loin chops for the pork. Imitation crab, sometimes referred to as krab, is not actually crab at all; it is made with surimi, a fish paste, to mimic the texture and taste of authentic crab. We recommend using imitation crab brands made predominantly with Alaskan pollock, a white fish, king crab and/or lobster in its ingredients, in either the chunk or crab leg/stick serving style. The marinade gives juiciness to the pork while oyster mushrooms and oyster sauce bring umami flavor to the dish. The wonderful combination of flavors and textures of the pork, imitation crab and oyster mushrooms make Pork and Imitation Crab Stir Fry a new and different stir fry to add to your culinary repertoire. Start out with a Sicilian Orange Salad, then enjoy Pork and Imitation Crab Stir Fry with a clean, crisp, dry chenin blanc.

Pork and Shrimp Stir Fry
Pork and Shrimp Stir Fry combines two very different proteins, pork and shrimp, and some unusual seasoning elements to produce a deeply flavorful and satisfying dish. The marinade adds bracing Chinkiang vinegar and fish sauce to bring a snap of brightness to the other ingredients and, together with the fermented black beans in the sauce, all serve to increase the umami element of Pork and Shrimp Stir Fry, while the different textures presented by the pork, shrimp and bok choy greatly contribute to the enjoyment of this dish. While we prefer Pork and Shrimp Stir Fry on its own, it can be served with steamed rice or noodles for a larger meal. As there is no spicy ingredient in Pork and Shrimp Stir Fry, be sure to have some Spicy Sichuan Chili Crisp available at the table.
Prep Time for Pork: 10 minutes plus marinating time, Prep Time for Stir Fry: 30 minutes, Cooking Time: 35 minutes. Serves 4.

Beef and Bok Choy Stir-Fry
Beef and Bok Choy Stir-Fry combines elements from Chinese, Japanese and Indonesian cooking to produce a dish of intriguing flavors. You can use a lean cut of beef for this recipe but more marbleized cut of beef, like boneless chuck, will taste better. The marinade/sauce will also work very well with pork. We recommend a light appetizer like Heirloom Tomato Caprese Salad to start. Serve Beef and Bok Choy Stir-Fry with fluffy steamed rice or as is, if you’re carb-conscious, accompanied by a crisp, dry rosé wine. We think “Beef ‘n Bok” will become a favorite of at your home.
Prep Time: see below, Total Time: 1 hour plus marinating time. Serves: 2.
