Ground Pork

Ground pork is raw pork that has been finely chopped by a grinder. It cooks quickly, browns easily, and renders fat for a moist texture with a mild, slightly sweet pork flavor. Common uses include sauces, stir-fries, meatballs, patties, and dumpling fillings; it’s sold in lean-to-fat ratios such as 80/20 or 90/10.\n\nPork is a staple across East Asia and Europe, and ground forms expanded with household and industrial meat grinders in the 19th–20th centuries. It features in Chinese jiaozi and bao fillings, Southeast Asian larb, Italian ragu, and numerous regional sausages and sauces.
