Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground pork or ground chicken (lean, for best texture)
  • 4 cups shredded green cabbage (about 300g)
  • 1 cup shredded carrots (about 70g)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 green onions, sliced (white and green parts included)
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Sesame seeds (toasted, for garnish, optional)
  • Extra sliced green onions (optional)
  • Chopped fresh cilantro or parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients: shred cabbage and carrots finely, mince garlic, grate fresh ginger, and slice green onions separating white and green parts.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet.
  3. Add ground pork or chicken and cook, breaking apart with a spatula, until browned and no longer pink, about 3 to 4 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
  4. Add minced garlic, grated ginger, and white parts of green onions. Stir constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add shredded cabbage and carrots. Stir well and cook until cabbage softens slightly but still has some crunch, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  6. Whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Pour over the meat and veggie mixture and stir well to coat evenly. Cook for another minute to meld flavors.
  7. Remove from heat and sprinkle with green parts of green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and fresh herbs if using. Stir and serve immediately.

Notes

Avoid overcrowding the pan to keep veggies crisp; cook in batches if needed. Use freshly grated ginger for best flavor. Add sauce after veggies soften to prevent sogginess. For extra crispiness, finish with a quick high-heat sear for 30 seconds. Leftovers reheat best in a skillet to maintain crispiness.
