Ingredients
- 1 lb ground pork
- 4 cups shredded green cabbage
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
- 3 tbsp soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 sliced for garnish green onions
- 1/4 tsp (optional) red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 1 lb ground pork and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking apart with a spatula, until browned and no longer pink.
- Step 2: Add 1 medium diced yellow onion, 3 cloves minced garlic, and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger to the skillet. Sauté together for 2-3 minutes until the onion softens and the mixture is fragrant.
- Step 3: Stir in 4 cups shredded green cabbage along with 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes if using. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage wilts and becomes tender but still slightly crisp.
