Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Aromatics

  • 1 lb. ground pork, turkey, or beef
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Vegetables

  • 1 head of cabbage
  • 2 large carrots
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced

Sauce and Oils

  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce

Instructions

  1. Cook Meat and Onions: In a very large skillet, cook and crumble the ground meat with diced onions and black pepper over medium-high heat until the meat is fully cooked. Do not drain the fat as it adds flavor. Ensure the skillet is large enough to hold all ingredients; otherwise, divide into two skillets.
  2. Prep Vegetables: While the meat cooks, cut the cabbage in half, remove the core, then slice each half into thin ribbons. Peel the carrots with a vegetable peeler and either dice them small or shave them into thin slices. Set vegetables aside.
  3. Add Vegetables to Meat: Add the sliced cabbage, prepared carrots, and minced garlic to the cooked meat in the skillet. Cook and stir everything together over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes to soften the vegetables slightly.
  4. Mix Sauce: In a small bowl, combine grated fresh ginger, sesame oil, and soy sauce. Stir this sauce mixture into the skillet with meat and vegetables, evenly coating all ingredients.
  5. Simmer Until Tender: Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking the stir-fry for another 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage becomes tender but still retains slight crunch.
  6. Season to Taste and Serve: Taste the stir-fry and adjust seasoning by adding more soy sauce, salt, or black pepper if needed. Serve hot immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • If you don’t have ground pork, turkey or beef are great substitutions and reduce fat content.
  • Adjust soy sauce quantity based on salt preference or type of soy sauce used (low sodium recommended for a milder salt level).
  • Use a large enough skillet to prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking of the vegetables.
  • Optional: Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds for added flavor and texture.
  • This recipe can be paired with steamed rice or noodles to make a complete meal.
