Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp. finely chopped peeled ginger
  • 1 lb. ground pork
  • 1 tbsp. toasted sesame oil
  • 1/4 head of green cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded carrot
  • 1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp. sriracha
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • 1 scallion, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the vegetable oil. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  2. Step 2: Add the ground pork and cook, breaking up the meat into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned in parts and cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Push the pork to one side of the skillet and pour in the toasted sesame oil. Add the cabbage, onion, and shredded carrot, then stir to combine with the meat. Pour in the soy sauce and sriracha. Cook, stirring frequently, until the cabbage is tender, about 5 to 8 minutes. Season with kosher salt to taste.
  4. Step 4: Divide the pork mixture among bowls. Top each serving with sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.

Tips & Variations

  • For a lighter option, substitute ground chicken or turkey for pork.
  • Add water chestnuts or chopped mushrooms for extra crunch and flavor.
  • Adjust the sriracha to control the heat level to your preference.
  • Serve over steamed rice or cauliflower rice to make it a more filling meal.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave until warmed through. To avoid sogginess, reheat just before serving and avoid overcooking the cabbage during reheating.
