Ingredients

Units Scale

Proteins

  • 1 lb ground meat (pork, turkey, or beef)

Vegetables

  • 4 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup grated or julienned carrots
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced

Seasonings & Sauces

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Red pepper flakes (optional, to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Shred the green cabbage, grate or julienne the carrots, mince the garlic and ginger, and chop the green onions to have all ingredients ready for cooking.
  2. Brown the Ground Meat: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground meat, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat if desired.
  3. Sauté Aromatics: Add the minced garlic and ginger into the skillet with the cooked meat. Stir frequently for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add Vegetables and Sauce: Mix in the shredded cabbage, carrots, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Stir well to combine and cook for another 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender but still slightly crunchy.
  5. Final Touches: Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Toss in the chopped green onions and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Do not overcook the cabbage to keep it crunchy and nutrient-rich.
  • Use a large skillet to ensure even cooking and prevent steaming.
  • Adjust the heat level by modifying the amount of red pepper flakes or adding spicy sauces like sriracha.
  • Fresh garlic and ginger provide a superior flavor compared to powders.
  • If cabbage releases too much moisture, drain some liquid to avoid sogginess.
