Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 4 stalks green onions
  • 1 whole red chili pepper
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic

Instructions

  1. 1

    Thinly slice the 4 green onions, separating white and green parts. Finely chop the 1 red chili pepper and mince the 2 garlic cloves.

  2. 2

    Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat until shimmering, about 1 minute.

  3. 3

    Add the ground pork and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the white parts of the green onions, the chopped chili, and the minced garlic. Stir-fry until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  5. 5

    Pour in the 3 tbsp soy sauce and stir to coat the pork. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce is slightly reduced and glossy.

  6. 6

    Remove from heat and stir in the green parts of the green onions. Serve hot over rice or noodles.
