Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground pork (or chicken/turkey)
- 4 cups cabbage (shredded or coleslaw mix)
- 1 cup carrots (shredded)
- 1 small onion (diced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon ginger (grated)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or coconut aminos for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 green onions (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon sriracha (optional)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- Warm sesame oil in a spacious skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Crumble ground pork into the pan, browning thoroughly while breaking into small pieces.
- Introduce diced onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger, sautéing for approximately 2 minutes until aromatic.
- Incorporate shredded cabbage and julienned carrots, tossing continuously until vegetables become tender and slightly wilted.
- Drizzle soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sriracha across the mixture, stirring vigorously to distribute seasonings evenly.
- Simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing ingredients to meld and develop deep, harmonious flavors.
- Eliminate skillet from heat source and garnish with thinly sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
- Transfer immediately to serving plates, ensuring the stir fry remains piping hot and vibrant.
Notes
- Swap ground pork with ground turkey or tofu for a leaner, vegetarian-friendly version that keeps the same delicious flavor profile.
- Customize heat levels by adjusting sriracha amount or using mild chili sauce for sensitive palates.
- Use pre-shredded coleslaw mix to cut down on chopping time and ensure consistent vegetable texture throughout the dish.
- Boost protein and nutrition by adding scrambled eggs or edamame during the final cooking stage for extra heartiness.
