Notes
Feel free to use canned bamboo shoots in the recipe.
You can exchange the ground pork with ground chicken, beef, turkey, lamb or even seared tofu.
If you like it spicier add more chili flakes or add in crushed Sichuan Chili peppers.
On the other hand, for a more mild flavor leave out the chili flakes or add in a very small amount to suit your desired heat level.
