This recipe has its roots in a Korean beef dish; however, I subbed out the beef for pork, and made a few changes to the spices to suit my taste. Serve this over some nice long-grain white rice, or place on top of a bed of butter lettuce; either way, it is a wonderful, and quick-to-make dish. As a matter of fact, if you already have some freshly-ground pork, you can have this dish out to your hungry guests in a quick 30 minutes. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make pork essentials: asian influence spicy pork

Step 1

PREP/PREPARE

Step 2

Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
Step 3

THE SAUCE
Step 4

Add all the sauce ingredients to a non-reactive bowl.
Step 5

Whisk to thoroughly combine, and reserve.
Step 6

Chef’s Tip: If you are using the optional srirachia sauce, add a bit at a time, and then test for heat.
Step 7

THE PORK
Step 8

Add the grapeseed oil to a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 9

When the oil begins to shimmer, add the ground pork, and cook for 2 – 3 minutes.
Step 10

Chef’s Note: I grind my own meats; however, you can either get a pound of ground pork, or you can have your butcher grind a nice lean piece of tenderloin for you.
Step 11

Add the minced garlic, and continue to cook (stirring often), until all the pink is gone from the pork, about 3 – 4 additional minutes.
Step 12

Chef’s Note: Use a wooden spoon to break up the ground pork.
Step 13

Add the sauce to the pan, and lightly simmer, for 5 – 7 minutes.
Step 14

PLATE/PRESENT
Step 15

Serve with butter lettuce, or over a plate of steamy rice. Enjoy.
Step 16

Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
