Zucchini and pork is one of those combinations that just works—simple ingredients that come together fast and taste like they took way more effort than they did. This zucchini and pork recipe is a quick stir fry I go back to again and again, especially when zucchini season is in full swing.
Growing up, zucchini was always around. Whether it came from our garden, a neighbor’s yard, or the back of someone’s car trunk (if you know, you know), there was always more than enough to go around. Add in some thin slices of pork, garlic, a splash of soy sauce, and you’ve got something that’s both satisfying and light—perfect for a weeknight meal.
What I love most about this dish is how versatile it is. You can serve it over rice, noodles, or just eat it as-is for a low-carb option. And if you’ve got other veggies you need to use up, this stir fry will happily welcome them in.
