Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground meat (chicken, turkey, or pork)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 medium head of green cabbage, thinly sliced
- 2 medium carrots, shredded
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- Optional: sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
- Add the ground meat to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Once cooked through, remove any excess fat from the pan.
- Add the chopped onion, garlic, and grated ginger to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion softens and becomes translucent.
- Stir in the sliced cabbage and shredded carrots. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crunchy.
- Pour in the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Stir well to combine, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is well coated and heated through.
- Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more soy sauce or vinegar as needed.
- Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds (if using). Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can use any ground meat of your choice, or even a meat substitute for a vegetarian version.
- Feel free to adjust the spice level by adding more or less crushed red pepper flakes.
- For a bit of crunch, you can add toasted sesame seeds on top before serving.
