I printed this recipe from Meals for You a long time ago. I altered it a little bit. Stir-fry is always a hit with my kids, even if it has celery in it (not a favorite of any of them). The ingredient list is simple and I almost always have all the ingredients, with the exception of cashews. They are worth adding to the recipe though. Yum!
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 cup orange juice
- just under 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 4 tsp. corn starch
- 1/4 tsp. ground ginger
- 3 carrots, sliced diagonally
- 2 celery stalks, sliced diagonally
- 6 boneless pork chops, cut into thin strips
- 2/3 cup cashews
- oil for stir-frying
Combine juice, honey, soy sauce, cornstarch and ginger in a bowl. Set aside.
Heat some oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the carrots and celery and stir-fry until tender crisp. Remove the veggies and set aside. Add more oil and stir-fry the pork until cooked through. Add the veggies back into the skillet, along with the sauce. Heat until it comes to a boil. Serve over rice.
This looks delicious! I’m always looking for new Pork recipes. thanks!
I cant eat pork (it doesnt like me), can I use chicken instead? because this look soooooo good, and I really want to try it. if I can use chicken, how much would you recommend?
You can use chicken. I think 3 large chicken breasts would be enough. They’re quite a bit bigger than the boneless pork chops.
I fixed this for supper last night. It was absolutely fantabulous!!! Thanks for another great recipe, Tiffany!
I made this Cashew Stir fry last night for dinner, it was delicious!!!!!! I didn’t have any pork, so I used chicken tenders instead. I just cut them into small chunks before adding in.
Thanks,
Bonnie
Tried this tonight & my family really enjoy it. I used 1.25 lbs. of chicken.
Thanks Tiffany!
Quick question, because the blonde might be setting in again. Do you stir fry the cashews before adding it to everything?

You don’t need to stir fry the cashews, although it might give them a nice toasty taste if you do.
This was a HUGE hit! All of us were licking the bowl!
I made this tonight and it was a huge hit — with the exception of my 4 year old daughter. One change I made was adding a handful of Birdseye mixed baby beans. I also julienned the carrots and celery. I used Ponzu rather than regular regular soy sauce [because I wanted to use up what I had before opening a new bottle. Jin (my 7 year old son, yes Jin -- not Jim) said it was "10 times better than [his] old favorite food.”
Love his comment and your alterations too!
