Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 lb ground pork or turkey (or choice of ground meat)

Vegetables

  • 4 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup julienned or grated carrots
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced (separate white and green parts)

Aromatics & Seasonings

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 3 tablespoons coconut aminos or tamari
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Red pepper flakes (optional, to taste)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Ground Meat: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground meat. Break it apart with a spatula and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Add the minced garlic and ginger to the pan with the meat. Stir constantly for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  3. Add Vegetables: Stir in the shredded cabbage, carrots, and the white parts of the green onions. Cook for about 5 minutes until the cabbage wilts slightly but remains slightly crisp.
  4. Season the Bowl: Pour in the coconut aminos and drizzle the sesame oil over the mixture. Toss everything well to coat and season with salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  5. Finish with Green Onions: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the green parts of the green onions for a fresh and zesty finish. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use fresh cabbage and aromatics for the best flavor and texture.
  • Don’t overcook the cabbage; keep it slightly crisp to avoid mushiness.
  • Higher-fat ground meat adds juiciness and richness to the dish.
  • Adjust seasoning gradually, especially when adding coconut aminos and salt to suit your taste.
  • Serve the dish hot straight from the skillet for optimal flavor and texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat gently to avoid drying out meat and veggies, adding water or broth if needed.
