Ingredient #1: Raw Ground Pork
This is the foundation.
Use 80/20 or 70/30 ground pork for best results
Avoid extra-lean pork—it won’t be as luscious
Fresh or frozen (thawed) both work

Ingredient #2: Soy Sauce
Soy sauce does the heavy lifting here.
Adds umami depth
Enhances the natural sweetness of pork
Balances richness with saltiness
