Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 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
Sauces & Seasonings
- 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Red pepper flakes (optional, to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Shred the green cabbage, grate or julienne the carrots, mince the garlic and ginger, and chop the green onions. Having all ingredients prepped before cooking helps the process go smoothly.
- 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 it’s browned and cooked through. If there’s excess fat, drain it off for a leaner dish.
- Sauté Aromatics: Stir in the minced garlic and ginger with the cooked meat, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is fragrant. This step infuses the meat with robust flavors.
- Add Vegetables and Sauce: Mix in the shredded cabbage, carrots, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Stir to combine everything evenly. Continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables become tender yet retain a bit of crunch.
- Final Touches: Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, if desired. Toss in the chopped green onions for freshness, then serve the dish immediately while warm.
Notes
- You can use pork, turkey, or beef according to your preference or what you have on hand.
- For a gluten-free version, be sure to use gluten-free tamari instead of regular soy sauce.
- The red pepper flakes are optional but add a nice spicy kick if you like heat.
- If you prefer your vegetables softer, cook them a bit longer after adding them to the skillet.
- This dish pairs well with cauliflower rice for a complete keto meal.
