Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Oils

  • 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 1 lb. ground pork
  • 1 tbsp. toasted sesame oil

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp. finely chopped peeled ginger
  • 1/4 head of green cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded carrot
  • 1 scallion, thinly sliced

Seasonings and Sauces

  • 1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp. sriracha
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • 1 tbsp. toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Heat Aromatics: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat vegetable oil. Add the finely chopped garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. This step releases their flavors, creating a fragrant base for the dish.
  2. Cook the Pork: Add the ground pork to the skillet and cook, breaking up the meat into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Cook until the pork is browned in parts and fully cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  3. Add Vegetables and Sauce: Push the cooked pork to the side of the skillet and pour in the toasted sesame oil. Add the thinly sliced cabbage, onion, and shredded carrot, then stir together with the pork. Pour in the reduced-sodium soy sauce and sriracha, mixing well. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the cabbage is tender, about 5 to 8 minutes. Season with kosher salt to taste.
  4. Serve and Garnish: Divide the pork and vegetable mixture evenly among bowls. Top each bowl with sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds for a burst of freshness and crunch before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground chicken or turkey for a leaner version.
  • For a vegetarian alternative, replace pork with crumbled tofu or tempeh and use a plant-based soy sauce.
  • Adjust the sriracha amount to control the heat level to your preference.
  • This dish is excellent served with steamed rice or cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
  • Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet to allow proper browning of the pork.
