Cooking method

Step 1:

How do you make delicious skillet teriyaki pork? It's easy. First, gather all the ingredients on the list. What meat can you use besides pork? Anything — beef, lamb, chicken, or turkey all work. Just keep in mind that the calorie count and cooking time will change.
Step 2:

Rinse the pork, pat it dry, and cut it into medium pieces. Use boneless pork — just the flesh. Pick whatever cut you like: leg, shoulder, loin, neck, tenderloin, and so on. I used shoulder and trimmed off the excess fat first.
Step 3:

Put the meat in a bowl and pour the teriyaki sauce over it.
Step 4:

Add the cornstarch and spices and mix well. Depending on the brand, teriyaki sauce can be thin and watery or a bit thick. If yours is already thick, you can skip the cornstarch. Let the meat marinate for 30 minutes.
Step 5:

Now prep the vegetables for the side. You can skip the side entirely or swap in a different one you like. Any summer squash works in place of the zucchini.
Step 6:

Peel the onion and cut it into half-moons.
Step 7:

Core and seed the bell peppers and cut them into rounds or strips. Using peppers of different colors makes the side dish look as good as it tastes.
Step 8:

Wash the zucchini and cut it into medium pieces. Mine was thin, so I cut it into quarters.
Step 9:

Add the pork along with its sauce to a well-heated skillet and stir-fry over high heat until cooked through, about 10–15 minutes. The exact time depends on your pan and how big you cut the meat.
Step 10:

In a second skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat (I used 7 out of 9 on my stove), then add the zucchini, bell pepper, and onion. Stir-fry until the vegetables are tender, about 5–7 minutes.
Step 11:

At the very end, season the vegetables with salt and pepper and toss. The side is ready. It's best to cook the meat and vegetables at the same time in two skillets, so everything finishes together.
Step 12:

Plate the fried vegetables and pork. If you like, sprinkle the dish with sesame seeds and chopped parsley. Enjoy!

Everyone's taste for salt, sweetness, bitterness, heat, acidity, and spice is different, so always add seasonings to your own taste. And if you're trying a new spice for the first time, remember that some are easy to overdo (chili pepper, for one) — go light.
Every oil is only good up to a certain temperature — its smoke point — beyond which it starts to burn and forms harmful compounds. Choose an oil with a high smoke point for frying.
