Honey Sriracha Pork and Snow Peas
Sometimes I look in the fridge with not much of idea for what to make for dinner. The other day I had a small amount of ground pork that I did not use for some smoked pork meatballs (recipe to come soon!). Not sure what to do with a pound of ground pork, I looked in the fridge and saw that I had a bag of nice fresh snow peas. I always enjoy an Asian inspired dish, so I decided to pull out the sriracha sauce and hit it with some heat. Sriracha is awesome and one of my ‘go-to’ condiments in the fridge. Wanting to have a little bit of sweet, I mixed in some honey and added some soy sauce, rice vinegar and sesame oil to round out the flavours. The end result was awesome and was great served alongside some steamed rice.
