Ingredients

1 tbsp. vegetable oil
1 garlic clove, finely chopped

1 tbsp. finely chopped peeled ginger
1 lb. ground pork

1 tbsp. toasted sesame oil
1/4 head of green cabbage, thinly sliced

1/2 yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 cup shredded carrot
1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce

1 tbsp. sriracha
Kosher salt, to taste
1 scallion, thinly sliced

1 tbsp. toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

Step 1: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the vegetable oil. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 2: Add the ground pork and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned in parts and cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes.

Step 3: Push the pork to one side of the skillet and pour in the toasted sesame oil. Add the cabbage, onion, and carrot, then stir to combine with the meat.
Step 4: Stir in the soy sauce and sriracha. Cook, stirring frequently, until the cabbage is tender, about 5 to 8 minutes. Season with kosher salt to taste.
Step 5: Divide the pork mixture among serving bowls. Top each with sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.

Tips & Variations

Swap ground pork for ground chicken or turkey for a lighter version.
Add water chestnuts or bamboo shoots for extra crunch.
Adjust the amount of sriracha to control the heat level.

Use napa cabbage instead of green cabbage for a sweeter flavor.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat or microwave until hot, stirring occasionally for even warming. Avoid overcooking during reheating to keep the vegetables crisp.
