Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 lb ground pork or chicken

Vegetables

  • 4 cups green cabbage, shredded
  • 1 cup carrots, grated
  • 3 green onions, chopped

Aromatics

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

Seasonings & Sauces

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes or sriracha (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Meat: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground pork or chosen protein, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned and fully cooked through. Drain excess fat if necessary to avoid greasiness.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Add minced garlic and freshly grated ginger to the skillet with the cooked meat. Stir continuously for about one minute until fragrant to release the essential flavors.
  3. Add the Veggies: Incorporate the shredded cabbage and grated carrots into the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables soften but retain a slight crunch, mimicking traditional egg roll texture.
  4. Season the Bowl: Pour in soy sauce and a splash of sesame oil. Add red pepper flakes or sriracha if using for heat. Stir everything to coat the meat and veggies evenly. Cook for an additional minute to let flavors meld.
  5. Finish with Green Onions: Turn off the heat and sprinkle chopped green onions on top. Give a final gentle stir and the dish is ready to serve.

Notes

  • Don’t overcrowd the pan; cook meat in batches if necessary to achieve better browning.
  • Shred cabbage thinly for even cooking and better texture.
  • Use fresh garlic and ginger instead of powders for enhanced flavor.
  • Let the dish rest off heat for a couple of minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  • Adjust seasonings at the end by tasting and adding more soy sauce or spice if needed.
