    Instead of reaching for that phone (or online delivery service these days) to satisfy your Chinese takeout cravings, try out this ground pork and eggplant stir fry recipe.

    Not only does it avoid a laundry list of non-Paleo ingredients like vegetable oil, soy, and gluten, but it also avoids Monosodium glutamate (a.k.a. MSG).

    Ground Pork And Eggplant Stir-Fry

    Plus, you can prepare this recipe faster than the amount of time it'll take the delivery driver to be at your front door. It'll be even more delicious knowing you made it yourself with wholesome ingredients.

    It’s best to use pasture-raised pork if it's available and suits your budget. If you can’t find any ground pork as the recipe suggests, you can always use a boneless loin or even pork butt cut into thin strips or bite-sized pieces.

    If you do use a different cut, make sure to adjust the cooking time to make sure the pork is fully cooked through.

    While this recipe isn’t AIP friendly because of the eggplant and Sriracha, you could always change out the eggplant for mushrooms to get that same meaty texture and not use the optional Sriracha.

    Stir fries are always a great go-to option when you need a fast one-pot meal or when using up whatever is left in the fridge. The trick to any stir-fry is to make sure the wok (or sauté pan) is nice and hot. The heat seals in the flavors and juices of the vegetables and protein.
