Hearty Pork and Vegetable Rice Bowl (Stamina-Don)

Posted on

Updated on

A super addictive energy-packed rice bowl made with pork and vegetables!

It’s incredibly easy—just stir-fry pork and leftover vegetables in a frying pan and coat with a special “stamina” sauce.

The sauce has a slightly sweet flavor, making it easier for kids to enjoy their veggies too!

As long as the total weight of vegetables is about ⅔ of a lb. (300g), you can use whatever you have left in the fridge!
