Equipment
- Large Skillet or Wok
- Spoon
- Small bowl
- Whisk
- Measuring spoons
- Measuring cups
- Knife
- Cutting board
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork or turkey
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, freshly grated
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- ΒΌ cup soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sriracha optional
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, for garnish
- 2 green onions, sliced, for garnish
- Crispy wonton strips, for garnish optional
Instructions
- In a large skillet or wok, brown the ground meat over medium-high heat. Break it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic and grated ginger and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the shredded cabbage and carrots to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce (or tamari), sesame oil, rice vinegar, and sriracha (if using).
- Pour the sauce over the cabbage mixture and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook for a few more minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds, green onions, and crispy wonton strips (if using).
Notes
Don't overcrowd the pan when browning the meat. Adjust sweetness with honey or maple syrup. Spice it up with more sriracha or red pepper flakes. This dish can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Experiment with different toppings like chopped peanuts, bean sprouts, or a drizzle of hoisin sauce. For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop.
