Adjust seasoning to your preference – add more soy sauce for a saltier flavor or a pinch of sugar for sweetness. For a vegetarian option, substitute the pork with firm tofu, cut into small cubes and pan-fried until golden brown. Feel free to add other vegetables such as bell peppers, snap peas, or bok choy to customize the dish. If you don't have dried small shrimp, you can omit it or substitute with a teaspoon of fish sauce for a similar umami flavor.
