Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 1 pound ground meat (pork, beef, turkey, or chicken)
Vegetables
- 4 cups shredded green cabbage
- 1/2 cup grated carrots
- 3 green onions, sliced (divided)
Aromatics & Seasonings
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos or soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Optional: 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes or 1 teaspoon sriracha
Instructions
- Cook the Ground Meat: Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add your choice of ground meat and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula for even cooking.
- Sauté Aromatics: Add minced garlic and grated fresh ginger to the skillet with the cooked meat. Stir for about one minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
- Add Vegetables: Incorporate shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and sliced green onions into the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until the cabbage wilts but still retains a slight crunch—about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Season the Dish: Pour in coconut aminos or soy sauce, and add chili flakes if desired. Stir everything well to combine flavors evenly. Let cook another minute to blend.
- Final Touches and Serve: Give it a final toss, taste for seasoning, and adjust if needed. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh green onions or toasted sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
- Use a large skillet to ensure even cooking without steaming.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary to maintain texture.
- Shred veggies finely for quicker cooking and better integration with meat.
- Adjust seasonings after cooking to control flavor intensity.
- Let the dish rest a few minutes off heat to let flavors meld perfectly before serving.
