Ingredients

  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1lb lean ground pork
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 Tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cups finely diced white mushrooms
  • 5 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup matchstick carrots
  • 3 cups shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix
  • 3 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp rice vinegar
  • To garnish: toasted sesame seeds, chili crisp, sriracha or crushed red pepper

Preparation

  1. Preheat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add oil, pork, onion, and garlic. Cook, breaking the meat apart with a wooden spoon, until meat is browned and onions are softened, about 5 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the pot, if desired.
  2. Add ginger, mushrooms, half the scallions, and carrots. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are softened, 3-4 minutes more.
  3. Add cabbage and soy sauce to the pot and stir to combine. Add broth and soy sauce, then bring to a simmer. Lower heat and continue to cook, about 10 minutes, until veggies are tender but not mushy. Remove the pot from heat, add rice vinegar, and stir once more to combine.
  4. To serve, garnish with additional green onion, sesame seeds, chili crisp, sriracha or crushed red pepper. Enjoy!
