Tips & Notes:
- It's best to add some fish sauce for more flavor, but if you don't have it, you can substitute with oyster sauce or soy sauce. The ratio is the same.
- If you turn or stir fry it too early, water will leak out and the meat won't get a nice brown color.
- Dry fry the ground pork to release the flavor. When you add garlic and soy sauce, they combine with the meat to give it a nice caramel color and garlic flavor. If the pork isn't dry fried, it won't be able to release these effects.
- Soy sauce and fish sauce should be added at this time to taste and stir fried to get a nice brown color.
