Whisk the sauce ingredients until fully combined.

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Add 1 pound of ground pork to the skillet and chop while cooking until it's about halfway done.

Add half a medium diced onion and continue to cook until the pork is cooked through and the onions have softened.

Add 3 minced cloves of garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Pour the prepared sauce mix into the skillet and mix thoroughly until well combined.

Serve the mixture directly from the pan or present it on a lettuce-lined serving platter, topped with the green onion tops.

Serve on leafy lettuce and enjoy.
