Ingredients
- 1 lb ground pork
- 4 cups shredded green cabbage
- 1 medium, julienned carrot
- 1 small, finely diced yellow onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 3 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 2 sliced green onions
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, then add 1 lb ground pork. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spatula, for 5-6 minutes until browned and cooked through with no pink remaining.
- Step 2: Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger to the pork. Stir and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Step 3: Stir in 1 small finely diced yellow onion, 4 cups shredded green cabbage, and 1 medium julienned carrot. Sauté for 6-8 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cabbage softens but retains some crunch.
- Step 4: Pour in 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, and sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Toss everything together and cook an additional 2 minutes so the flavors meld and the sauce coats the vegetables.
- Step 5: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions before serving warm.
