Chinese Ground Pork

chinese ground pork

The sauteed shallots are kind of a pain, but pretty darn tasty. I will not judge you if you decide to just throw in chopped green onion at the end like in the Korean beef recipe, because you can do what you want with your own food and because that's probably what I'm going to end up doing, too.

3 shallots
2 Tbsp coconut oil
1 lb ground pork
a thumb of ginger
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1/4 c soy sauce
2 Tbsp honey

Peel and sliver the shallots. Heat one tablespoon of coconut oil over medium high heat in a saute pan and saute the shallots until golden and crispy, stirring frequently, about ten minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.

Add the other tablespoon of coconut oil over medium high heat in a saute pan. Brown the ground pork in the coconut oil, about ten minutes.

Meanwhile peel and mince the ginger and add it toward the end of browning the meat.

Add red pepper, soy sauce, and honey, stir and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes.

Stir the crispy shallots into the meat at the end of cooking.
