Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground pork or turkey
  • 5 cups shredded green cabbage (about 450 g)
  • 1 cup shredded carrots (about 120 g)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep your veggies: shred 5 cups of green cabbage and 1 cup of carrots, dice one medium yellow onion, mince 3 garlic cloves, grate 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger, and slice 2 green onions for garnish.
  2. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb ground pork or turkey. Break it up with a wooden spoon and cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5–7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. Push the meat to one side of the pan. Add diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the empty space. Stir and cook for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and onions are translucent.
  4. Add shredded cabbage and carrots to the pan. Toss everything together and cook, stirring frequently, for about 7–10 minutes until cabbage is softened but still slightly crunchy. Splash 1 tablespoon water if pan feels dry to help steam veggies.
  5. Pour in 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil. Add 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes if desired. Stir well to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt or soy sauce as needed.
  6. Remove from heat and sprinkle sliced green onions on top. Toss gently to combine.
  7. Serve warm, optionally with steamed rice or cauliflower rice.

Notes

Avoid overcrowding the pan to keep cabbage crispy. If cabbage releases too much water, cook uncovered for a few minutes to evaporate excess moisture. Add rice vinegar and sesame oil at the end to preserve flavor and aroma. For gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce. Can substitute ground chicken, turkey, or tofu for different protein options.
