Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil
- 1/2 onion chopped
- 2 garlic cloves finely minced
- 500 g ground pork
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar packed
- 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce

Instructions
Instructions
- Mix the brown sugar, hoisin sauce, dark soy sauce, five-spice powder, and white pepper in a small bowl.
- Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet over high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for about 90 seconds, until the onion edges turn lightly golden.
- Add the ground pork and cook, breaking it into small pieces, until no pink remains.
- Pour in the sauce and cook over high heat for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring, until the liquid evaporates and the pork is glossy and caramelized.
- Serve the pork over cooked rice with fresh vegetables and finish with sliced green onion.
Notes
Cook the pork over strong heat after adding the sauce so the glaze clings instead of pooling.
Optional variation: use ground chicken or turkey, keeping the same sauce and cooking method.
