  • 8 oz sliced mushrooms I used baby bellas
  • 1 small onion sliced
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger

Instructions

  • Whisk together all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl; set aside.
  • Heat 1 tbs oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release all their liquid and begin to brown. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • Add the ground pork to the same skillet and cook over high heat until pork is cooked and begins to brown. Remove from pan and set aside.
