Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground pork or ground chicken
  • 4 cups shredded green cabbage (about half a medium head)
  • 1 cup shredded carrots (about 1 large carrot)
  • 3 stalks green onions, sliced thinly
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Red pepper flakes (optional, a pinch)

Instructions

  1. Shred 4 cups of green cabbage and 1 cup of carrots. Slice 3 green onions thinly, mince 3 garlic cloves, and grate 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger. This usually takes about 10 minutes.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of ground pork or chicken and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until no longer pink and starting to get golden, about 6–8 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for 1–2 minutes until fragrant but not burnt.
  4. Toss in the shredded cabbage, carrots, and green onions. Stir to combine and cook for about 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage softens but still has some crunch. Add a splash of water if the pan looks dry to help steam the veggies without losing crispness.
  5. Pour in 3 tablespoons of coconut aminos and 1 teaspoon of toasted sesame oil. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Taste and add salt, pepper, or a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired.
  6. Turn the heat to medium-high and let the mixture cook undisturbed for 2–3 minutes to develop some crisp, golden edges. Use your spatula to gently scrape the bottom to check progress without stirring too much.
  7. Give it one last stir to mix the crispy bits throughout the bowl. Remove from heat and serve immediately.

Notes

Use fresh ginger and garlic for best flavor. Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain crispiness. Let the dish rest for a minute after cooking to deepen flavors and keep edges crisp. For extra crunch, sprinkle toasted sesame seeds before serving. If too wet, drain excess liquid before crisping. Use avocado oil for high smoke point and better searing.
