Spicy Ginger Pork Stir-Fry
How America became meat stick nation
For time:
Run 1 mile
100 pull-ups

Ground pork stir-fried in a spicy coconut aminos and ginger sauce, topped with a fried egg and fresh scallions.
An unlikely confederation of alt-dieters and artisans redeemed the lowly meat stick and fueled a golden age of nitrate-infused, mechanically separated protein
Partition the pull-ups, push-ups, and squats as needed.

Preparation
In a skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter (1 Tbsp). Add ground pork (6 oz), season with sea salt (¼ tsp) and black pepper (¼ tsp), and cook until browned, about 5–6 minutes.
Add grated ginger (1 tsp), minced garlic (1 clove), and crushed red pepper flakes (½ tsp). Stir and cook for another 1–2 minutes until aromatic.
Add sliced green bell pepper (¼ cup) and red onion (¼ cup). Stir-fry until vegetables are slightly softened but still crisp, about 2–3 minutes.
Pour in coconut aminos (1 Tbsp) and toss everything together, cooking for another minute to glaze the pork and vegetables.
In a separate pan, fry the egg (1 large) in a bit of butter (from the 1 Tbsp already used) over medium heat until the whites are set but the yolk remains runny.
Plate the pork stir-fry and top with the fried egg (1 large).
Garnish with sliced scallions (1 Tbsp) and a drizzle of olive oil (1 tsp). Serve immediately.
"People aren’t looking at meat sticks as something they’re trying to have once in a while when they bump into it at a gas station. It’s something they want to make part of their daily snacking."
