Tips & Tricks

  • For an extra kick of heat, you can add a few drops of hot sauce or sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes.
  • If you prefer a milder version, remove the seeds from the chili peppers before adding them to the dish.
  • Marinating the pork in the sauce mixture for a few hours or overnight will enhance the flavors.
