  • Besides pork, you can use any other meat here. Keep in mind that the cooking time, flavor, and calorie count will change — beef, for instance, takes longer than pork, while chicken or turkey takes less.
  • Everyone's tolerance for salt, sweetness, bitterness, heat, and acidity is different, so always season to your own taste. If you're using a spice for the first time, go easy — some, like chili pepper, are especially easy to overdo.
  • Keep in mind that every oven is different, so the temperature and time may vary. For reliably good baked dishes, it helps to know your own oven's quirks.
