Lemongrass and Honey Pork Stir-Fry

This chile pepper gets its name from its origin. In Spanish, serrano is an adjective meaning “from the mountains” which is where it originated-in the mountains of Hildalgo, Mexico. The serrano is normally about twice as hot as Jalapeno (about 10,000 to 15,000 Scoville units). It is the second most popular chile pepper in Mexico. This chile is used mostly for salsas but can also be used in soups, sauces, chili or stews. Try these as a hotter substitute for Jalapeno.

Heat up a bit of oil in a pan. Add onion, saute until slightly wilted. Mix in all the pork, stir-fry until dry and lightly browned. Season to taste with more salt. Lastly, squeeze a little bit of lime juice over the pork before serving.
