Ingredients
Scale
Proteins
- 1 lb ground pork or ground turkey
Vegetables
- 4 cups finely shredded green cabbage
- 1 cup julienned carrots
- 3 green onions, sliced
Aromatics & Seasonings
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos or tamari
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
Instructions
- Prepare Your Vegetables: Finely shred the green cabbage, julienne the carrots, and slice the green onions. Prepping these ingredients before cooking helps ensure a smooth and efficient cooking process.
- Cook the Ground Meat: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add your chosen ground meat. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Remove any excess fat if necessary to keep the dish lean.
- Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and grated fresh ginger. Cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes, to build the essential flavor base for the dish.
- Combine Vegetables with Meat: Add the shredded cabbage, julienned carrots, and sliced green onions to the skillet. Toss everything together and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet still crisp.
- Season and Finish: Pour in the coconut aminos or tamari and drizzle sesame oil over the mixture. Stir to coat evenly. Sprinkle red pepper flakes if desired, and cook for another 1-2 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh grated ginger instead of powdered for a stronger, fresher flavor.
- Do not overcook the cabbage to maintain crunch and retain nutrients.
- Choose quality coconut aminos to ensure a rich, savory depth while keeping the recipe gluten-free.
- If using very lean meat, add extra sesame oil or avocado oil to maintain moisture.
- Prep vegetables in advance to speed up cooking time.
