Jamie Oliver Leftover Roast Pork

This Jamie Oliver Leftover Roast Pork stir-fry, It hits hard. Bright veg, zingy sauce, that perfect whisper of sweet and salty against the smoky roast from Sunday night. I wasn’t planning on making anything fancy. Just didn’t want to waste that leftover pork—and then somehow, this happened. Inspired by Jamie Oliver, yeah. But also born from that fridge stare-down we all know too well.

Ingredients Needed

• Leftover pork, thin—like, shredded or sliced so it heats fast and hugs the sauce
• A splash or two of olive oil (not measuring today)
• Two garlic cloves, smashed and chopped
• Red chili, finely sliced if you’re brave
• One bell pepper, any color that’s not mushy
• A big carrot, thin as you can manage
• Broccoli florets, like little green trees
• Soy sauce—just enough to make things savory
• Oyster sauce, a spoonful
• A trickle of honey or brown sugar if you’re out
• Juice from one lime (or half, if you like the edge)
• Salt, pepper
• Spring onions, sliced fine
• A rough handful of coriander (don’t skip it unless you really hate it)
• Cooked rice or noodles—whatever’s leftover, honestly

How To Make Jamie Oliver Leftover Roast Pork

1. Chop everything before you even heat the pan. Trust me. Stir-fry waits for no one.
2. Oil in the pan, medium-high heat. Garlic and chili go first. You’ll smell it—sharp, almost sweet. That’s your cue.
3. Throw in the bell pepper, carrot, and broccoli. Stir fast. Let them get hot but not soggy. You want crunch, not cafeteria memories.
4. Now the pork. Toss it in like it was always meant to be there. Let it catch a little color, wake up those crispy edges from the roast.
5. Meanwhile—quick bowl: soy, oyster sauce, honey. Stir. Pour over the pan, watch it sizzle. It’ll cling to the pork and coat the veg like it’s rehearsed this a hundred times.
6. Lime juice in, a bit of salt and pepper. Stir once more. Done? Not yet.
7. Spring onions and coriander go on last, right before you serve. A punch of green. A lift. It’s ready. Scoop it over rice or noodles. Eat it while it’s hot and don’t talk too much—just enjoy it.

Why I Love This Recipe

Honestly, Because it saved me. Tuesday felt like leftovers of a day—tired, repetitive. This woke it up. Kids loved it. I didn’t have to explain it was the same pork they groaned about two nights ago. We all need little wins. This is one.

Recipe Tips

• Use what you’ve got. Don’t go chasing specific vegetables if there’s a zucchini about to go soft.
• Spice is mood-based. Some days it’s all chili. Other days—none. Trust yourself.
• Don’t cook it too long. High heat, fast hands. Stir-fry waits for no one.
• No lime, White wine vinegar will do in a pinch. Tang is what you’re after.
• Make extra sauce if you’re spooning it over rice. Nobody likes dry bites.

How To Store This Jamie Oliver Leftover Roast Pork

• At Room Temperature: You’ve got maybe two hours. Don’t test it. Into the fridge it goes.
• In the Fridge: Tupperware, lid on, back of the shelf. Three days, tops.
• In the Freezer: Yes, you can. Use a decent container. Label it. You’ll forget otherwise. Defrost overnight in the fridge.
• Reheating: Best way, Stove. A bit of oil, medium heat. Let it come back to life slowly. Microwave works if you’re desperate. Just stir it halfway so it’s not cold in the middle.

Let’s Answer a Few Questions!

Can I swap out the pork?
Of course. Chicken, beef, whatever leftovers you’ve got. It’s the method that matters.

No oyster sauce—what then?
A bit of hoisin, or soy with a pinch of sugar. You’re after that umami hug.

Veggies keep going mushy. Why?
Too much in the pan, or not hot enough. Give them space. Make them dance.

Is this meal prep-friendly?
Sure, just store rice separately. Nobody likes gluey stir-fry.

Too spicy for the kids?
Leave out the chili. Maybe a touch more honey. Sweet talks go a long way.
