Receta Pork Chow Mein Stir-Fry Wraps
Let me ask you this?
Do you ALWAYS serve your stir-fries on rice?
That's what I usually do.
But not this time! Oh no...I wasn't about to pull out another pot and cook rice. Instead I served my pork stir-fry on a whole wheat flour tortilla and then added some crunchy toppings before wrapping it up.
For these Pork Chow Mein Stir-Fry Wraps I opted to top them with crunchy chow mein noodles. Bean sprouts, peanuts or sliced raw veggies would also be good options. The only drawback to using the chow mein noodles (at least for me) is I tend to eat a quarter of the bag before they even make it on the wrap.
I had some fun making this dish trying to look all professional flipping the pork and bell peppers in the wok by shaking the handle (my technique still needs some work as some of it ended up on the kitchen floor).
I loved how this saucy stir-fry tasted in the wrap and I didn't miss the rice (or cleaning the extra pot) one bit!
