A good stir fry is hard to beat. I like to do them in my Lodge cast iron wok over a gas burner out on the patio so that I can get traditional wok temperatures without smoking up my kitchen.

A proper stir fry requires a super hot wok and doing it outside prevents a smoky kitchen.

For this recipe, we used loin from an east Texas wild pig sliced into thin strips. You can also use belly or shoulder. We stir fried the pork with baby bok choy cabbage, snow peas, and green onions. For a bit of heat, we added a few Thai chili peppers. If you don't like that much spice, leave them out or substitute a few chili flakes.

This simple wild pork stir fry packs a spicy kick thanks to Thai chili peppers.

The recipe includes a few specialty ingredients like garlic black bean paste, tamarind paste, and chili crisps. You can find these in most large supermarkets or Asian grocery stores. If you don't have those, just order them online. You will find them handy for all sorts of recipes.

Once you have these seasonings, try them in other recipes as well.
