Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 lb ground pork or chicken

Vegetables

  • 4 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup grated carrots
  • 3 green onions, chopped

Aromatics & Seasonings

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Protein: Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb ground pork (or your chosen protein). Break it up with a spatula and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Push the meat to one side of the pan and add minced garlic and grated fresh ginger. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  3. Add Vegetables: Add shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and chopped green onions to the pan. Stir well to combine and cook until vegetables start to soften but still retain some crunch, about 4-5 minutes.
  4. Season: Pour in soy sauce, a splash of rice vinegar, and drizzle sesame oil evenly. Add red pepper flakes if desired for heat. Mix thoroughly to coat all ingredients in the sauce.
  5. Simmer and Serve: Allow the mixture to cook together for another 2-3 minutes so the flavors meld. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot directly from the pan into bowls for an effortless meal.

Notes

  • Use fresh ginger for brightness and zest that dried ginger lacks.
  • Do not overcook the cabbage and carrots; keep them slightly crunchy.
  • Drain excess fat from pork to prevent greasiness.
  • Prep all ingredients before cooking to streamline the process.
  • Adjust soy sauce and vinegar gradually to control flavor balance.
