Note
The recipe lists 10 oz of vegetable oil, which is a very large amount for stir-frying. Typically, 2-3 tablespoons are sufficient. Adjust oil quantity to your preference for a healthier dish.
The original ingredient list specifies 1/2 tsp of ground pork, which is likely a typo for 1/2 lb (approx. 8 oz). Use 1/2 lb of ground pork for a proper main course serving.
For less heat, remove the seeds and white ribs from the chilies before slicing.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a wok or skillet to maintain texture.
