Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 1 medium head green cabbage, shredded
  • 34 green onions, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce or coconut aminos
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: sesame seeds, extra sliced green onions, Sriracha

Instructions

  1. Prep the vegetables: shred the cabbage finely, slice green onions, mince garlic, and grate fresh ginger.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground pork, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
  3. Push pork to one side of the skillet. Add remaining tablespoon of sesame oil, then add garlic and ginger. Stir constantly for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add shredded cabbage and green onions to the skillet. Stir to combine with pork and aromatics. Pour in soy sauce (or coconut aminos), rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes if using. Cook, stirring occasionally, until cabbage softens but remains slightly crisp, about 8-10 minutes.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or soy sauce as needed. Remove from heat and garnish with optional sesame seeds or extra green onions. Serve hot.

Notes

If cabbage releases too much water, increase heat and cook uncovered to evaporate excess moisture. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. Fresh ginger and garlic are preferred over powdered for best flavor. For extra crispiness, broil in the oven for a few minutes at the end. Leftovers reheat best in a skillet to maintain texture.
