Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb ground pork, 1/2 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper; cook for 5-6 minutes, breaking apart with a spatula until browned and cooked through. Remove pork and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil to the skillet. Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add 4 cups cauliflower rice, 1 julienned carrot, and 1 cup snap peas, stir-frying for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  4. Step 4: Return cooked pork to the skillet. Stir in 3 tbsp coconut aminos, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, and 1/2 tsp sea salt. Toss everything together and cook for 2 more minutes until heated through.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat and sprinkle with 3 sliced green onions before serving.
