    Why You’ll Love This Recipe

    • It comes together in a few simple steps. Far from complicated, this ground pork stir fry is perfect for beginners.
    • This teriyaki stir fry is packed with flavor without requiring a ton of ingredients! You can whip this up quickly with kitchen staples.
    • You can easily customize this stir fry with your favorite vegetables or with whatever you have on hand.

    Ingredients You’ll Need

    Ingredients needed for teriyaki ground pork stir fry.
    • sesame oil — I cook the ground pork and mushrooms in sesame oil to add more flavor to the dish.
    • ground pork — I use ground pork for this stir fry. Don’t have any? Use ground beef to make ground beef teriyaki!
    • salt — I only add a pinch of salt as the soy sauce is salty.
    • mushrooms — the more the merrier! I sliced baby bella mushrooms but you can buy them pre-sliced to save time.
    • garlic — the more garlic, the better in my opinion! I usually have garlic frozen in the freezer which is why it looks like a block in the photo!
    • soy sauce — use low sodium soy sauce if you’re worried about the saltiness. You can also substitute some of the soy sauce for mushroom flavored dark soy sauce if you’d like the stir fry to be darker in colour with more umami flavor.
    • orange juice — for the sweetness in the teriyaki sauce. You can also use pineapple juice but I usually have orange juice on hand more often.
    • mirin — check out my ‘what is mirin‘ post if you’re not sure what mirin is.
    • peas — I use frozen peas as they’re always in my freezer.

    How to Make Teriyaki Ground Pork Stir Fry

    • In a large skillet over medium heat, add ½ tablespoon of sesame oil. Add the ground pork and a pinch of salt to the skillet. Cook the pork, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon as you go until no longer pink. Transfer the pork to a plate and set aside.
    • In the same skillet, add the rest of the sesame oil and the mushrooms along with a pinch of salt. Saute the mushrooms until they are tender. You can also leave them undisturbed and only stir on occasion to get them more golden brown. This took me around 8 to 10 minutes to get the texture I like.

    • Add the cooked ground pork back to the skillet and add the garlic, soy sauce, orange juice, and mirin. Stir to coat and then let simmer, stirring every so often until the liquid has cooked down.
    • Stir in the frozen peas until no longer frozen. It shouldn’t take more than 2 minutes.
    • Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if you desire.

    Recipe Tips and Notes

    • Make it spicy by adding in red chili flakes, sriracha, or Chinese chili paste.
    • Try adding onions, carrots, snow peas, bok choy, and/or broccoli florets for some extra veggies.
    • You can make the ground pork more crispy by letting the pork cook undisturbed, spread out in the skillet, so it gets crispy on the bottom before you start to break it up.
    • I use a non-stick skillet, so I don’t need a ton of oil to cook the ground pork and mushrooms. If you’re using a stainless steel skillet, you might need more oil.

    Make Ahead Tips

    • Meal prep: once cooled, store the ground pork stir fry in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the fridge. Pack with rice or noodles of your choice.
    • Reheat: reheat in the microwave until warmed through.
