This is my take on Asian style pork stir fry. I love taking dishes and adapting them to the latin palate. Using jalapeños, a classic spicy pepper, really helps bring out the sweetness of the bell peppers and onions. The use of pork shoulder is the big ingredient. Used more often for pernil, it is great to find new uses for ingredients you may already have on hand so shaving the pernil for this dish just brings a whole other string of possibilities with this one cut of meat. I love doing that.

Cooking should be fun and easy. To me it shouldn’t involve ingredients that are too exotic or specific. It is all about using what you have in different ways and creating a new plate you can enjoy again and again. Sure it is great fun to experiment with new flavors and textures and ingredients, but for day to day life it is about kicking monotony to the curb and spicing up what you have on hand. And what you have on hand, I assure, is a lot of delicious waiting to happen!

This dish is colorful, flavorful and easy to prepare. Enough said.
