Proteins
- 1 lb ground meat (pork, turkey, or beef)
Vegetables
- 4 cups shredded green cabbage
- 1 cup grated or julienned carrots
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
Seasonings & Sauces
- 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Red pepper flakes (optional, to taste)
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Shred the green cabbage, grate or julienne the carrots, mince the garlic and ginger, and chop the green onions to have all ingredients ready for cooking.
- Brown the Ground Meat: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground meat, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat if desired.
- Sauté Aromatics: Add the minced garlic and ginger into the skillet with the cooked meat. Stir frequently for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add Vegetables and Sauce: Mix in the shredded cabbage, carrots, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Stir well to combine and cook for another 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender but still slightly crunchy.
- Final Touches: Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Toss in the chopped green onions and serve immediately.
Notes
- Do not overcook the cabbage to keep it crunchy and nutrient-rich.
- Use a large skillet to ensure even cooking and prevent steaming.
- Adjust the heat level by modifying the amount of red pepper flakes or adding spicy sauces like sriracha.
- Fresh garlic and ginger provide a superior flavor compared to powders.
- If cabbage releases too much moisture, drain some liquid to avoid sogginess.
