Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground pork or ground turkey
  • 4 cups shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger optional
  • 2 tablespoon hoisin sauce optional
  • 2 green onions sliced (for garnish)
  • 1 large carrot shredded (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  • Add the ground pork (or turkey) and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add chopped onion and garlic to the skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  • Stir in shredded cabbage (and carrot if using), soy sauce, rice vinegar, and hoisin sauce (if using). Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender but still slightly crisp.
  • Season with salt, pepper, and grated ginger, if desired.
  • Remove from heat and serve in bowls, garnished with sliced green onions.

Notes

  • You can use any ground meat you prefer, such as beef, chicken, or pork.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute the meat with tofu or tempeh.
  • If you like it spicier, add a dash of sriracha or red pepper flakes while cooking.
  • For a lower-sodium version, use tamari instead of soy sauce or opt for a low-sodium soy sauce.
  • Feel free to add additional vegetables such as bell peppers, mushrooms, or snow peas for more texture and flavor.
  • This dish is perfect for meal prep and can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • You can serve this in a lettuce wrap for a low-carb, gluten-free option.
  • Top with a fried egg or drizzle with a bit of extra hoisin sauce for added richness.
