Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g ground pork
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium, chopped onion
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 medium, diced bell pepper
- 1 medium, diced zucchini
- 1 medium, diced carrot
- 1 can (400g) tomato sauce
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
- 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
- 0.5 tsp salt

Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2 minutes until the onions become translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground pork to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until the pork is browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the diced bell pepper, zucchini, and carrot to the skillet. Stir well and cook for another 3 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Pour in the tomato sauce and mix thoroughly.
Add the soy sauce, fish sauce, ground black pepper, salt, and bay leaves. Stir everything together to incorporate.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Remove the bay leaves before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your low carb pork giniling!
