  • 1 1/2 tsp fresh ginger grated
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (reduce amount or omit for a much milder dish)

  • 1 lb. boneless pork chops, sliced into thin strips against the grain (about 1/4" thick)

Notes

Pork tenderloin can be substituted for the pork chops if desired.
I like to add a sprinkle of black pepper before serving, but it's completely optional.
