I have to admit that it does get a little hot to cook at the kitchen lately. I consider Minnesota’s summer as a “mild” one compare to that in Oklahoma, but still, the temperature inside the house rises quickly as soon as I do some cooking. But, I still need to prepare meal on the weekdays and some days I just want to fix something really quick to go with our main staple, rice. So, I thought of this stir-fried shredded pork with sweet bean paste. It’s really quick to whip and taste yummy on top of rice too. The meat goes really well with the green onion on the side as well. There you go, a quick protein dish without heating up the kitchen too much 🙂
