Ingredients
- 4 whole green onions diced
- 1200 g raw sweet potatoes processed into rice
- 1.5 lbs ground pork 90/10 lean
- 2 tbsp coconut aminos
- 2 tsp fish sauce
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 2 eggs
- dash salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Chop sweet potatoes into small chunks and add them to a food processor using the chop blade. Pulse in the processor until the sweet potatoes are broken down into small, rice-like pieces. (You may have to do this in 2 batches, only fill the food processor halfway full to allow it to process. Don't over process, as potatoes will turn to mush).
- In a large pan over medium-high heat, add pork to brown. Season with salt and pepper. Break up into small bits and cook until it has developed a brown crust, about 8 minutes. Drain fat, reserving at least 1 tbsp in the pan.
- While the pork is cooking, cut up green onions.
- Add sweet potato rice to pan. Add the green onions, coconut aminos, fish sauce and cayenne. Mix well. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sweet potatoes start to soften.
- Crack the eggs into the pan and stir them around to scramble. Continue to stir until the eggs are fully cooked, 2-3 minutes.
- Taste and season with additional salt and pepper as desired.
- Remove from heat and serve.
