Ingredient Notes

• Sweet Potatoes (1 cup, peeled and diced): Opt for purple or orange varieties; they’re punchy in flavor. • Chive Oil (2 tablespoons): This can be made easily at home by infusing oil with fresh chives. • Ground Pork (1 pound): Look for lean pork; substitutes could include chicken or tofu for variety. • Chopped Fresh Chives (1/2 cup): Fresh is best, but dried can work in a pinch for flavor.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Add the diced sweet potatoes, stirring occasionally until tender, about 10-12 minutes.
  2. Mix in the ground pork, cooking until browned while breaking it up with a spatula.
  3. Fold in the chopped chives just before serving for a fresh flavor kick.

Things I’ve Learned

Stir-frying sweet potatoes may take some time, so ensure they’re diced evenly for uniform cooking. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, making this a perfect make-ahead breakfast. Reheat on the stovetop to avoid sogginess and recapture the texture.
