Ingredients

1 pound ground pork
1 tablespoon avocado oil
0.5 yellow onion (thinly sliced)
0.25 cup white vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
0.5 teaspoon salt
2 cup rice (cooked)
2 cup green cabbage (shredded)
0.25 cup pickled jalapeños (sliced)
2 tablespoon fresh cilantro (chopped)

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine thinly sliced yellow onion, white vinegar, sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir well and set aside to quick-pickle while you prepare the rest of the meal.
Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground pork and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook, breaking it apart, until browned, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
While pork cooks, prepare the cooked rice according to package directions.
Assemble bowls with cooked rice, shredded green cabbage, cooked ground pork, quick-pickled onions (drain before adding), and sliced pickled jalapeños. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.
Serve immediately.

Notes

For quicker prep, you can pre-chop the cabbage or buy pre-shredded. The quick-pickled onions can be made an hour ahead for more intense flavor.
