Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground pork (or chicken, turkey, or beef)
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups shredded cabbage (or coleslaw mix)
- 1 medium carrot, julienned or shredded
- 1/2 cup sliced bell pepper (any color)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp hoisin sauce (optional for sweetness)
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the Ground Meat:
- Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the ground pork (or your choice of meat) and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
- Cook the Vegetables:
- Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet with the cooked meat. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes until the onions are soft.
- Add the shredded cabbage, carrots, and bell pepper. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
- Make the Sauce:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce (if using), ground ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes.
- Pour the sauce over the cooked meat and vegetables, stirring well to coat everything evenly. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat through and allow the flavors to combine.
- Serve:
- Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
- Serve immediately, or enjoy over rice or noodles for a complete meal.
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground pork with tofu or additional vegetables.
- You can make this dish ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Add extra heat with more red pepper flakes or a dash of sriracha sauce.
