- 1/2 cup coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons sriracha
- Chop all veggies and herbs then place in a large mixing bowl (along with any other add-ins you prefer).
- Place all ingredients for the dressing in a blender and blend until smooth and combined.
- Lastly, add ground pork and a bit of salt to a large nonstick pan, breaking into small pieces and cooking until no pink remains. While the pork cooks, place a small saucepan over medium-high heat then add coconut aminos and sriracha, whisk together and cook for about 4-5 minutes, until bubbly and reduced. When the pork is cooked through, add the sauce to the pan and mix until the pork is coated.
