Spicy Pork and Peanut Stir-fry
You will need lots of white rice to soak up the spiciness of this Szechuan style pork stir fry! You could also reduce the amount of chilli if you insist...

Great recipe, thanks. I will make this again but will cook the pork by itself for two or three minutes before adding the other ingredients, and also season with a bit of salt. But really nice. Also I found that adding the snow peas the same time as the lime mixture kept them a bit crunchier. - 03 May 2013
Used different ingredients. I loved this recipe. I made it low fat by eliminating all but 1 1/2 tsp of sesame oil, using 3 chillies, whole button mushrooms and hot sauce. I'm making another batch today to freeze in small one portion containers. Thanks so much for this wonderful recipe!! - 08 Oct 2008
