Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Aromatics
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp finely chopped peeled ginger
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
Vegetables
- 1/4 head of green cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1/2 yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup shredded carrot
Seasonings and Toppings
- 1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sriracha
- Kosher salt, to taste
- 1 scallion, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Heat Aromatics: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the vegetable oil. Add garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute to release their flavors.
- Cook Pork: Add the ground pork to the skillet. Break up the meat into small pieces with a wooden spoon and cook until it’s browned in parts and cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Add Vegetables and Seasonings: Push the pork to the side of the skillet and pour in the toasted sesame oil. Add the thinly sliced cabbage, onion, and shredded carrot. Stir everything together with the meat. Add the reduced-sodium soy sauce and sriracha. Cook while stirring frequently until the cabbage is tender, which should take 5 to 8 minutes. Season with kosher salt to taste.
- Serve: Divide the pork and vegetable mixture among bowls. Top each serving with thinly sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds for added flavor and crunch.
Notes
- You can substitute ground pork with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
- Adjust the amount of sriracha to control the spice level according to your preference.
- For a low-carb version, increase the cabbage and reduce the carrots or omit them entirely.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently on the stovetop or microwave before serving.
