Easy pork chow mein

I was very lazy today and I had to go out for a while and didn’t know what I’d make for dinner so my easy way when I don’t know what to make for dinner is put the neat in my crockpot and decide later.  This was very good but just as good using a stir fry method.

My version of easy pork chow mein.  I used my crockpot to cook the pork. I seasoned it with salt, pepper and onion powder.  Cooked on low around 4 hours with 1/2 cup water.  You can use chicken or beef broth.

Cooled and shredded it.

I lb pork tenderloin ( baked or use crockpot on high for 2 ton3 hours)
Salt pepper onion powder.


3 tsp. Oil
diced carrots
Diced Green onion
Diced celery

Cornstarch to thicken
Drained bamboo shoots and any other vegetables of choice. Mushrooms and water chestnuts optional

Instructions:

After pork is done, remove from crockpot and shred into small pieces.  (Set aside) 

Later place oil, diced carrots,celery and onions in a large pan and sautéed until tender.  Add shredded pork. 

Note: I Used drippings from pork and added water to equal 1/2 cup.  Thickened mixture with 2 tablespoons corn starch whisked with enough water to make a soupy thin paste.  Pour into hot mixture stirring constantly.  Add shredded pork , drained bamboo shoots and water chestnuts (optional)while stirring gently.  It will thicken quickly.

Served over hot rice with crunchy chow mein noodles.

Enjoy!

Note;  This recipe can be made quickly with  sliced or chopped pork tenderloin.  Pork stir fries so easily so don’t hesitate to make this recipe using a stir fry method.

 Note: I had carrots, green onions and celery chopped and frozen so not much prep today.  Crockpot saved time (in my opinion) because I wasn’t standing over heat very long.
