Recipe: Stir Fried Pork with Chinese Mushrooms

Chinese stir fries are great when you're having a busy week. When the kids come back from school, we want to be able to cook something quick and easy and serve it within 30 minutes. 

Stir fried pork with Chinese mushrooms

I like this dish for its simplicity, yet it tastes really good. Marinating the pork in some corn starch will make the pork taste more tender. I always make sure we put in lots of mushrooms cos the kids love them.
