Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound ground pork or ground turkey
Vegetables:
- 4 cups shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix
- 1 cup carrots
- 1 onion
- 3 cloves garlic
Seasonings and Garnishes:
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 green onions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Sizzle the ground meat in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it develops a rich, golden-brown color and breaks into crumbly texture, approximately 6-8 minutes.
- Incorporate finely chopped onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger into the meat, stirring continuously to release their aromatic essence and prevent burning, about 2-3 minutes.
- Introduce shredded cabbage and julienned carrots to the skillet, tossing gently to integrate with the meat mixture and allowing vegetables to soften and slightly caramelize, roughly 4-5 minutes.
- Drizzle soy sauce and sesame oil across the mixture, using a wooden spoon to create a uniform coating that enhances the dish’s depth of flavor and provides a glossy finish.
- Transfer the steaming mixture to a serving bowl, creating an inviting presentation by sprinkling freshly chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds across the top for a vibrant, crunchy contrast.
Notes
- Swap ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner protein option.
- Use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce to make the dish gluten-free and lower in sodium.
- Boost vegetable content by adding extra colorful veggies like bell peppers or mushrooms for more nutrition.
- For a spicier kick, drizzle sriracha or sprinkle red pepper flakes on top just before serving.
