Pork and Edamame Stir Fry
Small, tender, green soybeans, better known as edamame, are full of flavor, rich in protein, and low in fat. Delicious as a snack on their own, they are a natural addition to main dishes. This stir fry combines tender pork with the hearty beans in a flavorful sauce, peppered with garlic, ginger and onion. A quick and easy dish, too!
