Mike's Magic
This is my own recipe that I have done many times and everyone that has tried it seems to love the many flavors that it delivers. Pork is thinly sliced and stir-fried with bell peppers, celery, and Brussels sprouts. As you are using all fresh herbs there is no need to season with salt or pepper as this will take from the natural flavors.
