Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 lb ground pork or chicken

Vegetables

  • 4 cups thinly shredded cabbage
  • 1 cup julienned or grated carrots
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

Seasonings & Sauces

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce or coconut aminos
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Shred the cabbage and carrots, mince the garlic and ginger, and slice the green onions to have everything ready for quick cooking.
  2. Cook the Ground Meat: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground meat and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Add Aromatics: Stir in the minced garlic and ginger with the cooked meat and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Toss in the Vegetables: Add the shredded cabbage, carrots, and green onions to the skillet. Cook stirring often until the cabbage is tender but still crunchy, approximately 4 to 5 minutes.
  5. Season to Perfection: Pour in soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Mix thoroughly to combine all flavors. Add red pepper flakes if desired for heat.
  6. Final Stir and Serve: Toss everything again, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately while warm and aromatic.

Notes

  • Use fresh vegetables to keep the dish vibrant and textured.
  • Don’t overcook the cabbage; aim for tender-crisp texture.
  • Brown the meat thoroughly for deeper caramelized flavor.
  • Adjust seasonings at the end to balance salt and acidity.
  • Optional garnishes: toasted sesame seeds or sliced almonds add nice texture and nuttiness.
