Start by mixing the sauce in a mixing vessel, adding hoisin sauce, mirin (1-2 tablespoons), soy sauce (1 cup), and dark soy sauce (a splash or two).

Add a metric ton of garlic (4-5 cloves) and some garlic ginger stirring paste to the sauce mixture, whisking it together.

3

In a smaller pot, pour in 2 cups of rice and add 1-2 tablespoons of butter. Turn on the heat to boil the rice without washing it.

4

Once boiling, cover and let simmer for 20 minutes until done.

5

In a large skillet or wok, add oil and cook 1.5 pounds of ground pork until browned and crispy, draining excess fat with a paper towel.

6

Add the sauce mixture to the browned pork, along with white pepper and onion powder, stirring well.

Add one bag of coleslaw mix and a bag of cauliflower that has been steamed in the microwave for 6 minutes.

8

Incorporate 2 cans of sliced water chestnuts (drained) into the mixture, stirring everything together.
