Ingredients

Scale

1 lb (450 g) ground pork
4 cups (about 340 g) shredded green cabbage
1 cup (70 g) shredded carrots (optional for strict keto)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
3 green onions, sliced (separate white and green parts)
2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tsp rice vinegar
½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare your vegetables: shred the green cabbage and carrots, mince garlic, grate ginger, and slice green onions separating white and green parts.
Heat sesame oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet or wok. Add ground pork and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and no longer pink, breaking it apart with a spatula.
Add minced garlic, grated ginger, and the white parts of the green onions. Stir for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Add shredded cabbage and carrots to the pan. Stir well and cook for 5-7 minutes until cabbage is tender but still slightly crunchy.
Pour in soy sauce or tamari, rice vinegar, and crushed red pepper flakes if using. Stir and cook for another 2 minutes to meld flavors.
Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Remove from heat and sprinkle the green parts of the sliced green onions on top.
Serve warm, ideally with cauliflower rice or a crisp side salad.

Notes

If excess liquid appears in the pan, cook a bit longer on medium heat to evaporate it and prevent sogginess. For a vegetarian version, substitute ground pork with crumbled tofu or mushrooms and use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce for soy-free option. Ground turkey or chicken can be used as leaner protein alternatives.
