Sweet and savory ground pork flavored with garlic and ginger goes well with sautéed onions and peppers. Finish with some fresh herbs and a few optional chopped nuts for crunch. I like to serve this with an Asian-inspired shaved cucumber and radish salad.

Instructions
Heat a large pan over high heat. When hot, add the avocado oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions and bell peppers. Cook until softened and beginning to char, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and a generous pinch of salt then stir to combine. Cook until fragrant, about one minute more. Transfer to a serving bowl and set aside. Do not clean the pan.
Add the ground pork to the now empty pan. Cook over high heat, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula until it is broken up into small pieces, about 5 minutes. Add the soy sauce and sweetener and continue cooking until little liquid remains, about 5-10 minutes. Add back the vegetables and toss to combine everything. Transfer to the serving dish and garnish with peanuts and cilantro, if desired.

For a leaner meal, use ground chicken instead of pork.Made without peanuts: Calories: 679 cal, Carbs: 9g, Fiber: 2g, Fat: 52g, Protein: 42gMade with ground chicken: Calories: 465 cal, Carbs: 11g, Fiber: 3g, Fat: 27g, Protein: 46gMade with ground chicken or peanuts: Calories: 407 cal, Carbs: 9g, Fiber: 2g, Fat: 22g, Protein: 44g
