Ingredients
- 1 lb ground pork
- 4 cups shredded green cabbage
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp grated ginger root
- 3 sliced green onions
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon grated ginger root, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Step 2: Add 1 pound of ground pork to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for 5-6 minutes until browned and no longer pink, seasoning with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Step 3: Stir in 4 cups of shredded green cabbage and 2 tablespoons soy sauce, cooking for 6-8 minutes until the cabbage softens but still retains a slight crunch.
- Step 4: Push the pork and cabbage mixture to one side of the pan and crack 2 large eggs into the cleared space. Scramble the eggs gently until just cooked through, about 1-2 minutes, then mix them into the rest of the skillet contents.
- Step 5: Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes and 3 sliced green onions over the dish, stir well, and cook for another minute to meld flavors. Serve hot.
