Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • 1 bunch scallions, chopped, whites and green parts divided
  • 1 tablespoon finely grated or minced ginger root
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 2 teaspoons Chinese 5-spice powder
  • 1 teaspoon Sambal Oelek or Sriracha, or more to taste
