I played around with this dish, using several types of protein. My first thought was to use bite-size chunks of pork, chicken, or beef, but finally settled on using ground pork. Cooking the pork was the next step, and I decided to poach the ground pork in pepper-laced water… The sauce then pulls it all together. So yummy. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.
