• 2 Tbsp Lard

Method

1. Cook the Pork Mince: In a large frying pan or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of lard over medium-high heat. Add the pork mince to the pan and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Once browned, remove the pork mince from the pan and set aside.
2. Prepare the Vegetables: In the same pan, add another tablespoon of lard if needed. Add the sliced onion, minced garlic, minced ginger, and julienned carrot to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.
3. Combine Pork and Vegetables: Return the cooked pork mince to the pan with the vegetables. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
4. Add Okra: Add the sliced okra to the pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the okra is tender-crisp and the pork is heated through.
5. Season the Stir Fry: Pour in the soy sauce, sake, and mirin. Stir well to combine all the ingredients. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
6. Serve: Serve the pork and okra stir-fry hot over cooked rice.
7. Enjoy your effortless and flavorful pork and okra stir-fry! Adjust the seasoning and ingredients according to your taste preferences.
