Common Questions (Answered)
Can I brown the pork first?
You can, but you don’t need to. Skipping browning saves time and the texture stays tender.
Will it be greasy?
Surprisingly no. The fat emulsifies into the sauce, creating richness without excess oil.
Can I use ground chicken or turkey?
You can, but it won’t be as juicy or flavorful. Pork really shines here.
Is it very sweet?
It’s balanced. Savory first, with a subtle sweetness that rounds everything out.
