Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil (toasted, optional for flavor)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or avocado oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the coconut oil or avocado oil.
Step 2
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 3
Add the ground pork to the skillet, using a wooden spoon to break it up into small pieces. Cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is browned and fully cooked through.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to medium. Stir in the coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the pork evenly with the sauce.
Step 5
Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Step 6
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the sliced green onions.
Step 7
Serve hot in lettuce wraps, over cauliflower rice, or as a topping for roasted vegetables. Enjoy!
