Instructions

Whisk together the sauce: In a measuring cup or bowl, whisk together all sauce ingredients and set aside.
1/2 cup soy sauce, 2 Tbsp. honey or sugar, 2 Tbsp. shaoxing wine, 2 Tbsp. rice vinegar, 2 Tbsp. water, 1 Tbsp. cornstarch, 2 tsp. sesame oil
Saute aromatics: Heat 1 tbsp oil over medium heat. Add shallot, garlic, and ginger and cook for about 30-60 seconds, careful not to let the garlic burn.
vegetable oil, 2 Tbsp. shallots, finely minced, 3 cloves garlic, minced, 1 Tbsp. fresh ginger, minced
Add the ground pork: Turn the heat to medium-high, add the ground pork, and break it up with a wooden spoon into small pieces. Add salt and white pepper and continue to cook until the meat is cooked. Set the meat aside on a plate or in a bowl.
1 lb. ground pork, salt and white pepper, to taste
Add broccoli: Add chopped broccoli pieces (along with any other veggies you like, too!) and saute for a few minutes until vibrant. Then add little more oil to the veggies and season with a bit of salt. Cook for ~2 more minutes. (I like to cook without oil first to get a little char on the veg). Adjust the heat as necessary, veggies will be crisp-tender.
1 large head broccoli, chopped into pieces
Add meat & sauce: add the ground pork back in, followed by the sauce. Allow to simmer and the sauce to coat the pork and veggies. After a few minutes, the cornstarch will thicken the sauce, and everything will smell perfect and delicious!
Serve: plate with rice/ramen, and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
