Note

Serve hot over steamed rice for a complete meal.

If using a stovetop, stir-fry the pork and onions in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat until browned, then add remaining ingredients and simmer until vegetables are tender. Add cornstarch slurry to thicken.

For a lower-fat option, use unsalted cashews and reduce the amount of salt added.

Ensure the pork is fully cooked through (internal temperature of 145F) before serving.
