Ensure the spices are evenly distributed for consistent flavor.

Shake gently to avoid tearing the bag.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and brown the pork cubes in batches.
Browning the pork adds depth to the flavor.

Arrange the pork evenly for uniform cooking.
In the same skillet, sauté the onion and garlic for 3 minutes.
