Ingredients
Scale
Main 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
- 1 tbsp. toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Heat Aromatics: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the vegetable oil. Add the finely chopped garlic and ginger, cooking while stirring for about 1 minute until they become fragrant.
- Cook Pork: Add the ground pork to the skillet. Break it up into small pieces using a wooden spoon and cook until it is browned in parts and fully cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Add Vegetables and Sauce: Push the pork to one side of the skillet and pour in the toasted sesame oil. Add the sliced cabbage, onion, and shredded carrot to the skillet. Stir everything together with the pork, then pour in the reduced-sodium soy sauce and sriracha. Continue cooking and stirring frequently until the cabbage is tender, about 5 to 8 minutes. Season with kosher salt to taste.
- Serve: Divide the pork and vegetable mixture evenly among bowls. Garnish each serving with thinly sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds for added flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute ground chicken or turkey for pork if preferred.
- For a spicier version, add more sriracha or a dash of crushed red pepper flakes.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to control the salt content.
- This dish pairs well with steamed rice or cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
- To make it vegetarian, substitute the pork with firm tofu or tempeh and use vegetable oil instead of sesame oil if desired.
