For more detailed instructions with weights and measurements, jump to the printable recipe card.

Cook the pork: First heat some oil (I like coconut oil) in a wok and add the ground pork. Cook it, stirring often, until no pink remains.
Slice the vegetables: You need to thinly slice the veggies, garlic, and ginger too, so do that while the pork cooks.
Add more ingredients to the wok: The garlic, ginger and shallot go in with the pork. Next you will add the veggies, soy sauce and sesame oil.
Add the egg: Push the other ingredients up the sides of the wok and crack in the egg. You can then scramble it in there, then stir it with the other ingredients. Get everything well mixed together.
Serve: Serve hot with red pepper flakes and green onions.
