This easy-to-make stir-fry is a delicious way to enjoy a favorite winter vegetable—butternut squash. Even better, the meal comes together in less than 30 minutes. For the easiest preparation, cut the neck off a 2-pound butternut squash; peel it and cut it into 1/8-inch-thick rounds—then cut each round into long matchsticks. Prepare the pork in the same way: slice thin rounds from the loin and then cut those into long, thin matchsticks. You can consider this a one-dish meal, or you can serve it with your favorite green vegetable (steamed bok choy would be delicious) or, if you're particularly hungry, serve it over brown rice.
