Sichuan Pork and Veggie Stir Fry with ginger rice
This bountiful dish is a favorite for us. The Sichuan garlic paste is the key ingredient, resulting in pork mince that's packed with flavor. Teamed with tender greens, zingy ginger rice and a fried egg to bring it all together, every bite is awesome.
