  • Salt
    to taste

Chili garlic ground pork

  • Ground pork
    ~ 454 g~ 1 lb
  • Birds eye green chilies
    2
  • Garlic
    5 cloves
  • Scallions, thinly sliced whites
    1
  • Water
    30 g
  • Soy Sauce
    15 g
  • Hoison
    5 g

Mince the chilis, garlic, and scallion whites and place them into a bowl. Set a wok over medium heat and add the oil. Once hot, toss them into the hot oil and for 1-2 minutes.

Turn the heat to high and toss in the ground pork and salt. Crush the meat up with a potato masher into little pebbles of meat. The fat will start to render and the pork should crisp up, about 3-5 minutes. Add a splash of water into the pan to the crispy bits on the bottom.

Once the liquid has evaporated, add the soy sauce and a drizzle of hoisin. Mix to combine until the pork is coated and slightly sticky. Taste and adjust with more salt, hoisin, or soy sauce if needed.
