Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) ground pork
Vegetables:
- 4 cups shredded cabbage (or coleslaw mix)
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 2 green onions, sliced
Seasonings and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Toppings:
- Sesame seeds
- Sriracha
- Cilantro
Instructions
- Warm a spacious skillet with sesame oil over medium flame, creating a fragrant base for the dish.
- Introduce ground pork to the pan, methodically crumbling and browning the meat until it develops a rich, caramelized texture.
- Infuse the skillet with minced garlic and ginger, stirring continuously for 1-2 minutes to release their aromatic essence.
- Tumble shredded cabbage and julienned carrots into the mixture, allowing them to soften and meld with the meat while maintaining a slight crunch.
- Drizzle soy sauce across the skillet, seasoning with a judicious pinch of salt and pepper to elevate the flavor profile.
- Transfer the sizzling mixture to serving dishes, adorning with freshly chopped green onions and any preferred garnishes for a vibrant finishing touch.
Notes
- Swap ground pork with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner protein option that keeps the dish light and healthy.
- Add a dash of sriracha or chili oil to boost heat and create a spicier version of the classic recipe for those who enjoy bold flavors.
- For a low-carb friendly meal, serve the mixture over cauliflower rice instead of traditional rice to reduce overall carbohydrate intake.
- Quickly toast sesame seeds before sprinkling on top to enhance their nutty flavor and add an extra layer of depth to the dish.
