Method

  1. Prep and measure everything first; this carnitas moves fast once the pan is hot.

  2. Heat vegetable oil over medium-high until shimmering.

  3. Add white onion and cook until fragrant, stirring so nothing catches.

  4. Toss in the main ingredients with jalapeno and stir-fry until just cooked through.

  5. Taste, balance the seasoning, and serve right away while hot.
