- 1/2 tablespoon ginger fresh grated
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Instructions
- Heat a large pan over high heat. Add the avocado oil and when the oil is shimmering, add the asparagus. Cook over high heat until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove to a plate and set aside. Do not clean the pan.
- In the now empty pan, add the pork mixture, soy sauce, rice vinegar, monk fruit, Sriracha, and ginger and cook, breaking up the pork into small pieces until it is cooke through and little to no liquid remains, 5-10 minutes. Add back the asparagus and drizzle the whole dish with toasted sesame oil. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired with more salt, Sriracha, monk fruit, and/or vinegar. Stir to combine and serve with green onions as garnish.
