Pork ‘n’ Napa Cabbage

“I’ve been making this one-dish pork dinner for more than 20 years,” writes Lisa Thomason from Ingleside, Illinois. “And it’s always been a favorite. It’s fast, flavorful and easy to double for guests.” TASTY TIP: Use fresh ginger and more red pepper to kick up the heat; add shredded carrots for extra color.

    I couldn't find napa cabbage or chinese cabbage so used bok choy. This is a fast, delicious dish...although I found 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes is too spicy for us. I used 1/8 tsp. and that was plenty spicy. Delicious.
