Steps

1

Heat pan, once it's hot add olive oil
2

Add ginger first, cook until brown (this allows the ginger to give its fragrance and removes its spicy rooty flavor)
3

Add garlic (cook until slightly brown)
4

Add onions & scallions/spring onion (sautee until fragrant)
5

Add fish sauce (gourmet tip: allow the fish sauce to simmer until its fragrant, this adds more flavor on your food without affecting the base flavor of the herbs)
6

Add ground pork (mix well and stir until pork is cook)
7

Add carrots & cabbage (mix in well to incorporate flavors)
8

Add raisins (mix in well)
9

Tomato sauce is optional, it further enhances the flavor of your mixture, but adjust your salt level since tomato sauce is already a sodium based substance
10

Add salt and pepper to taste
