Pork Mince and Manuka Honey Stir Fry

Jennifer Miller

Pork mince is stir-fried with garlic, ginger, and vegetables, then finished with Manuka honey and soy sauce for a glaze that balances sweet and savory. Manuka honey has a slightly earthy depth that sets it apart from standard honey in cooked sauces. The whole stir fry is ready in well under 30 minutes over high heat.

Main Ingredients

1 lb pork mince preferably free-range
2 tbsp Manuka honey for its unique taste and health benefits
2 tbsp soy sauce low sodium
1 large red bell pepper sliced thinly
100 grams snap peas trimmed
2 cloves garlic minced
1 inch ginger grated
2 tbsp vegetable oil divided
2 tbsp spring onions chopped, for garnish
1 tsp sesame seeds toasted, for garnish

Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add pork mince to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Allow the edges to become slightly crisp for extra texture.
Add sliced red bell pepper and snap peas to the skillet, cooking for another 3 minutes, or until they're tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together Manuka honey, soy sauce, and the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Pour the sauce over the pork and vegetables, stirring to combine and allowing the mixture to heat through for about 1-2 minutes.
Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnishing with chopped spring onions and toasted sesame seeds.

Notes

If Manuka honey is unavailable, substitute with a dark, rich honey to maintain depth. For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
