• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 1/4 tsp pepper

Preparation

Step 1

In bowl:

Stir together pork, soy sauce, thyme, ginger, pepper, allspice and cayenne; let stand for 5 minutes.

In large skillet:

Heat half of the oil over medium high heat; brown pork all over, about 5 minutes. Transfer to bowl.

In same skillet:

Heat remaining oil over medium heat; cook sweet potato, stirring occasionally, until slightly tender about 7 minutes. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is golden, about 3 minutes.

Return pork and any accumulated juices to pan. Add 3/4 cup water, bring to boil, stirring to scrape up any browned bits. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring often, until potato is tender, about 5 minutes.
