Ingredients

• 1 lb ground pork
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp ginger, finely grated
• 1 tsp red chili flakes
• 2 tbsp soy sauce (or coconut aminos for a lower-carb option)
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 zucchini, diced
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp cilantro, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Push the pork to one side of the skillet. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and red chili flakes to the empty side of the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir the garlic and ginger into the ground pork and mix well.

Step 5

Add the diced red bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Step 6

Pour in the soy sauce (or coconut aminos) and sesame oil. Stir to combine and cook for another 2 minutes until the flavors meld together.

Step 7

Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust the spice level by adding more red chili flakes, if desired.

Step 8

Remove from heat and stir in the sliced green onions. Garnish with chopped cilantro, if using.

Step 9

Serve hot as a filling for lettuce wraps, over cauliflower rice, or with your favorite low-carb roasted vegetables.
