Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 lb ground meat (pork, chicken, or turkey)

Vegetables

  • 3 cups fresh cabbage, finely shredded
  • 1 cup carrots, grated or julienned
  • 4 green onions, chopped (divided)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

Sauces & Oils

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Optional: sriracha or chili sauce, to taste

Base

  • 2 cups cooked rice or cauliflower rice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Finely shred the cabbage and grate or julienne the carrots. Chop the green onions, keeping some aside for garnish. Mince the garlic and ginger. Prepping your vegetables first helps with even cooking and saves time.
  2. Cook the Ground Meat: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a little oil. Add the ground meat and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into small pieces for consistent texture.
  3. Add Aromatics and Vegetables: Stir in the minced garlic and ginger with the meat and cook until fragrant. Add the shredded cabbage, carrots, and most of the green onions, stirring frequently. Cook until vegetables soften slightly but retain a bit of crunch.
  4. Season the Bowl: Pour in the soy sauce and drizzle sesame oil over the mixture. Stir well to evenly coat all ingredients. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or additional soy sauce as needed. Add sriracha or chili sauce if you prefer some heat.
  5. Serve Over Rice or Cauliflower Rice: Spoon the cooked mixture over your choice of cooked rice or cauliflower rice. Garnish with the remaining green onions and serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • Use fresh cabbage and carrots for the best texture and flavor.
  • Do not overcook the vegetables; keep them slightly crunchy.
  • Brown the meat thoroughly to develop richness.
  • Adjust seasonings gradually and taste as you cook.
  • Adding a splash of rice vinegar can brighten the flavors if the dish feels too heavy.
