Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground pork (80/20 fat ratio preferred)
  • 4 cups shredded green cabbage (about half a medium head)
  • 1 medium carrot, shredded or julienned
  • 3 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce or coconut aminos
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep the veggies: shred 4 cups green cabbage and 1 medium carrot; thinly slice 3 green onions; mince 3 garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon fresh ginger.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground pork, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook 8-10 minutes until browned and crispy bits form. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Drain excess fat if necessary, leaving enough to coat the pan.
  3. Add minced garlic and ginger to the pork. Stir constantly for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add shredded cabbage and carrots to the skillet. Stir well and cook 4-5 minutes until cabbage softens but remains slightly crunchy.
  5. Pour in 3 tablespoons soy sauce or coconut aminos, 1 teaspoon rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes if using. Stir to coat evenly. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Stir in sliced green onions just before serving.

Notes

For crispier pork, avoid crowding the pan and let the pork sit undisturbed for a minute or two while cooking. Use fresh garlic and ginger for best flavor. Avoid overcooking cabbage to maintain crunch. Leftovers reheat best in a skillet to preserve crispiness. Variations include swapping pork for ground chicken, turkey, or beef, adding mushrooms or bok choy, and using coconut aminos for soy-free option.
