Ingredients

Scale

Proteins

  • 1 pound ground pork, chicken, or turkey (can be substituted with ground beef, tofu, or tempeh)

Vegetables

  • 4 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 1 medium carrot, grated
  • 2–3 green onions, chopped
  • 1–2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

Seasonings & Oils

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil (or toasted walnut/peanut oil as substitute)
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Cook the Ground Meat: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground meat and break it apart. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. If using fattier meat like pork, drain excess grease as needed.
  2. Add Aromatics: Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, building a savory flavor base.
  3. Incorporate Veggies: Add shredded cabbage and grated carrots to the skillet. Stir frequently and cook for 5-6 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften slightly while retaining some crunch.
  4. Season the Bowl: Pour in soy sauce (or tamari) and drizzle sesame oil over the mixture. Toss to evenly coat ingredients. If you want heat, add red pepper flakes at this stage.
  5. Final Touches: Remove the skillet from heat and mix in chopped green onions for a fresh burst of flavor and color.

Notes

  • Drain excess fat when using fattier meats to reduce greasiness.
  • Shred cabbage and carrots thinly for faster cooking and better texture.
  • Do not overcook vegetables; keep them tender-crisp to maintain nutrients and bite.
  • Season gradually and taste as you go for balanced saltiness.
  • Use fresh garlic, ginger, and green onions for best flavor.
