Meatlovers! If using protein, cook in a medium non-stick pan over medium heat with 1 tsp. olive oil. If using shrimp, pat dry. Cook until pink and shrimp reach minimum internal temperature, 2-3 minutes per side. If using sliced pork, pat dry, coarsely chop, then separate pieces. Stir occasionally until pork reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes. Rest, 3 minutes. If using steak strips, pat dry, coarsely chop, then separate pieces. Stir occasionally until steak reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes. Rest, 3 minutes. Add to rice bowl as desired.
