Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground pork (can substitute ground chicken or turkey)
- 1 medium head green cabbage, shredded (about 6 cups)
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1/4 cup coconut aminos
- 3 stalks green onions, sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional add-ins: sliced mushrooms, shredded carrots, Sriracha or chili garlic sauce
Instructions
- Prep your ingredients by shredding the cabbage, slicing green onions, and mincing garlic and ginger.
- Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground pork, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Add remaining tablespoon of sesame oil to the skillet. Stir in minced garlic and ginger, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add shredded cabbage to the skillet and toss with pork and aromatics. Pour in coconut aminos and sprinkle red pepper flakes if using. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cabbage is tender-crisp.
- Turn off heat and stir in sliced green onions. Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or more coconut aminos as desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
Do not overcook the cabbage; it should be tender-crisp. Use fresh garlic and ginger for best flavor. Drain excess moisture from cabbage if pre-shredded to avoid watery dish. Adjust salt carefully as coconut aminos are lower sodium than soy sauce. For extra richness, add toasted sesame seeds or chili oil at the end. Avoid burning garlic and ginger by stirring constantly and cooking on medium heat.
