Thai ginger pork, Moo pad king

This is quick-and easy ginger flavored Thai dish. It’s not chilli spicy but ginger spicy. Some recipes call for hot chilli peppers though, I like the dish to be less spicy. So I always use some bell peppers or green beans. This pork stir-fry definitely goes great with noodles as well as steamed rice.
