For a richer flavor, consider marinating the pork in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, and ginger for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Adjust the amount of sugar to your liking, depending on how sweet you prefer the dish. Fresh beets can be used instead of canned. Roast or boil them until tender before slicing and adding to the recipe. A splash of rice vinegar or lemon juice can brighten the flavors of the dish. Serve with a side of steamed greens like bok choy or gai lan for a balanced meal.
