Quick Chinese BBQ Pork Mince Bowls

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large non‑stick pan over high heat.

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic; sauté for about 1½ minutes until the onion edges turn lightly golden.

While the aromatics cook, combine brown sugar, hoisin sauce, dark soy sauce, Chinese five‑spice powder, a pinch of white pepper, and optional red food colouring in a small bowl to create the glaze.

Add the pork mince to the pan, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook until no pink remains.

Stir the prepared sauce mixture into the pork, increase the heat if needed, and cook for 2–3 minutes (or up to 5 minutes on a weaker stove) until the sauce is absorbed and the pork caramelises.

Serve the glazed pork over cooked rice, topping each bowl with sliced green onions, a sprinkle of white sesame seeds, and fresh vegetables: cucumber slices, tomato wedges, grated carrot, and steamed broccoli.
