Heat oil until shimmering over medium heat in a wok or large skillet and add half the scallion greens. Sauté until crisp; remove and reserve.

Add pork to the wok, break it up and sauté until cooked through. Add the soy sauce and sugar and stir everything together well to coat the pork. Continue to stir-fry until the meat looks glazed.

FODMAP Information
Our recipes are based on Monash University and FODMAP Friendly science.
- Scallions: The green parts of scallions are low FODMAP as determined by Monash University lab testing and can be used to add onion flavor to your low FODMAP cooking.
- Sugar: Monash University and FODMAP Friendly have both lab tested white, granulated sugar. Monash states that a Green Light low FODMAP serving size of white sugar is 1/4 cup (50 g). FODMAP Friendly simply states that they have tested 1 tablespoon and that it is low FODMAP. Regular granulated white sugar is sucrose, which is a disaccharide made up of equal parts glucose and fructose. Sucrose is broken down and absorbed efficiently in the small intestine.
Please always refer to the Monash University & FODMAP Friendly smartphone apps for the most up-to-date lab tested information. As always, your tolerance is what counts; please eat accordingly. The ultimate goal of the low FODMAP diet is to eat as broadly as possible, without triggering symptoms, for the healthiest microbiome.
