Ingredients

• 1 lb ground pork, chicken, or turkey
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (optional if using lean meat)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated or minced
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced
• 4 cups green cabbage, shredded
• 2 medium carrots, julienned or grated
• ¼ cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon chili paste or sriracha (optional, for heat)
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Preparation Method

Start by cooking the ground pork, chicken, or turkey in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. As the meat cooks, break it apart with a spatula and stir until browned and fully cooked. If necessary, drain any excess fat and set the meat aside.

Using the same skillet, add vegetable oil if your protein was lean, and sauté the garlic, ginger, and onion until fragrant and the onion starts to soften. This step builds a flavorful base for the stir fry.

Add the shredded cabbage and julienned carrots to the skillet, stirring frequently. Cook until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crunchy, keeping their vibrant color and texture intact.

Return the cooked meat to the skillet, combining it with the sautéed vegetables. Stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and chili paste (if you like a bit of heat). Mix everything well and adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste.

Finish the dish by garnishing with sliced green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and crunch. Serve it immediately as a low-carb meal or pair it with steamed rice or cauliflower rice for a more filling option.

Tips and Conclusion

To add more veggies, toss in bean sprouts, bell peppers, or snap peas for a colorful and nutrient-packed stir fry.
For extra crunch, top with crushed peanuts or crispy fried onions before serving.
This recipe works great for meal prep—just store in airtight containers and reheat for an easy lunch or dinner.
