  1. 1

    Combine 2 tablespoons soy sauce, tomato paste, green onions, rice wine, 1 tablespoon sugar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes in a bowl. Add the pork, cover with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

  2. 2

    Heat 1 tablespoon canola oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the pork in batches, avoiding overcrowding, until the center is slightly pink, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should reach at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

  3. 3

    Heat 1 teaspoon canola oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the celery, the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes; sauté for 1 minute. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce and cook, stirring, for 1 minute more. Add the celery leaves and cook, stirring, until the celery is crisp-tender, about 3 minutes more. Serve alongside the pork.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
