Heat the cooking oil in a skillet or pan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and slightly translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the ground pork to the skillet. Break it up with a spoon and cook, stirring occasionally, until it's browned and no longer pink.
If using the optional potato or carrot, add them now. Stir well to combine with the pork.
Season generously with salt and pepper. If you added optional vegetables, you might want to add a tiny splash of water (about 1-2 tbsp) and cover the pan for a few minutes to help them cook through.
Continue cooking, uncovered, until the optional vegetables are tender and the pork is fully cooked, stirring as needed.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve hot!
