Start by washing and shredding the cabbage and carrots if not using a pre-shredded mix.
Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and grate the fresh ginger.
Step 2: Cook the Protein
Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Add the ground pork or turkey, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Cook until browned and fully cooked, then remove it from the pan and set it aside.
Step 3: Sauté the Aromatics
In the same skillet, add the onion, garlic, and ginger.
Sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and the onion becomes translucent.
Step 4: Add the Vegetables
Stir in the shredded cabbage and carrots. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but still have some crunch.
Step 5: Combine and Season
Return the cooked meat to the skillet. Add soy sauce and stir well, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated.
Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, or red pepper flakes for added flavor and texture. Serve hot and enjoy!
