Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Oils
- 1 lb. ground pork
- 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp. toasted sesame oil
Vegetables and Aromatics
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp. finely chopped peeled ginger
- 1/4 head of green cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1/2 yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup shredded carrot
- 1 scallion, thinly sliced
Seasonings and Sauces
- 1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp. sriracha
- Kosher salt, to taste
- 1 tbsp. toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Heat Aromatics: In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the vegetable oil. Add the finely chopped garlic and ginger, cooking and stirring until fragrant, about 1 minute, to build the base flavor.
- Cook Pork: Add the ground pork to the skillet, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned in some areas and fully cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Add Vegetables and Seasonings: Push the cooked pork to one side of the skillet and pour in the toasted sesame oil. Add the thinly sliced cabbage, onion, and shredded carrot. Stir to combine the vegetables with the meat. Pour in the reduced-sodium soy sauce and sriracha, then cook, stirring frequently, until the cabbage softens, about 5 to 8 minutes. Season with kosher salt to taste.
- Serve: Divide the pork and vegetable mixture evenly into bowls. Garnish the top with thinly sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately while warm.
