Instructions
- Brown the pork sausage. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the pork sausage until browned. Remove the pork from the skillet to a plate and set aside.

- Make the sauce. In a small bowl whisk together the brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, red pepper flakes, and pepper. Pour over the ground pork mixture.
- Make the slurry. In another small mixing bowl combine the cornstarch with the water. Stir until smooth. Add the slurry to the skillet and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes.
