This recipe may seem like it has a lot of ingredients, but don't be afraid! This dish requires one frying pan and bowl to make. Feel free to leave out sake if you don't have it on hand or swap out the chinese chives for cabbage if you don't have access to an asian grocery store; swap out sesame oil for any neutral flavor oil. Ground pork can also be substituted for ground chicken or ground turkey as well.
