Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground pork
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 2 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 cup green peas
- 1 cup low sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onions are translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the ground pork to the pan and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the low sodium soy sauce and continue cooking for another 2 minutes.
Add the diced carrots, potatoes, and green peas to the pan, and combine well with the pork mixture.
Pour in the low sodium chicken broth and tomato sauce, stirring to combine all ingredients.
Add the diced red bell pepper, bay leaves, ground black pepper, and sugar to the pan.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the vegetables are cooked, taste the giniling and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove the bay leaves before serving.
Serve hot over steamed rice or enjoy as is for a fulfilling and hearty meal.
