Instructions
- Sear ground pork in a hot skillet over medium heat until thoroughly browned and crumbly, eliminating any excess grease.
- Infuse the meat with aromatic minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for approximately 90 seconds to release their intense flavors.

- Boost vegetable content by adding extra colorful veggies like bell peppers or zucchini to increase nutritional value and texture.
- Create a low-sodium version by using reduced-sodium soy sauce and controlling salt levels while maintaining delicious flavor profile.
