pork essentials: asian influence spicy pork

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.

    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.
  • 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.
