Instructions:
To a skillet over medium high heat, add olive oil and ground pork. Cook pork until browned, stirring frequently, drain and return to skillet.
Add onions to skillet, stir around for 2 minutes. Add rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, peanut butter, honey and garlic to skillet. Stir well and cook for 3-4 minutes, to cook onions throughout.
