Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 lb lean ground pork, turkey, or chicken
  • 2 large eggs

Vegetables

  • 4 cups green cabbage, finely shredded
  • 1 cup carrots, finely shredded
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

Seasonings & Sauces

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Finely shred the cabbage and carrots, chop the green onions, and mince the garlic and ginger to have everything ready for quick cooking.
  2. Cook the Ground Protein: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add your chosen ground meat and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula. Season with salt and pepper. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  3. Sauté Aromatics and Veggies: Add garlic and ginger to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the shredded cabbage and carrots and cook for 5-7 minutes until vegetables soften but remain slightly crunchy.
  4. Add Seasonings and Combine: Pour in the soy sauce (or tamari) and sesame oil, stirring to coat the protein and vegetables evenly. Add red pepper flakes if using, then toss in the chopped green onions for freshness.
  5. Stir in the Eggs: Create a well in the center of the skillet, crack the eggs into it, and scramble gently until cooked through. Mix the scrambled eggs into the rest of the ingredients for a protein-rich, combined dish.

Notes

  • Don’t overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if needed to brown the meat properly.
  • Use freshly shredded cabbage and carrots for best texture and flavor.
  • Adjust cooking time for softer or crisper vegetables according to preference.
  • Add a splash of broth or water to deglaze the pan and keep the dish moist without extra oil.
  • Season to taste, adding more soy sauce, garlic, or ginger as desired.
