## Ingredients

- 1 tbsp neutral oil
- 4-5 garlic clove, minced
- 1 shallot, sliced (optional)
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp chicken bouillon powder
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/8-1/4 tsp crushed red pepper (optional)
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 4 roma tomato, cut into wedges
- 1/2 large green cabbage, roughly chopped
- green onion, sliced (optional)
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 2 tsp fish sauce
- 1 tsp dark soy sauce
- 1/2 cup water

## Instructions

1. Combine the oyster sauce, fish sauce, dark soy sauce, and water in a small bowl.
2. Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant.
3. Add the ground pork, salt, garlic powder, chicken bouillon, black pepper, and sugar. Mix everything together, then spread the pork into an even layer.
4. Leave the pork undisturbed to brown, then flip in sections, break into crumbles, and continue cooking until browned and no longer pink.
5. Add the tomatoes and cook, pressing some of them to release their juices while leaving a few pieces intact.
6. Pour in the sauce mixture. Stir and let it simmer.
7. Add the cabbage and toss to coat, adding in two batches if needed as the first batch wilts.
8. Cover, reduce the heat to medium, and cook.
9. Uncover, toss thoroughly, and cook until the cabbage reaches your preferred tenderness and the excess liquid reduces into a glossy sauce.
10. Taste before adding any more salt or fish sauce. Finish with sliced green onions, if desired.
