Instructions

Cook the base: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground pork, chopped onion, and minced garlic until the pork is browned and the onion turns translucent.
Add vegetables: Stir in the sliced cabbage and shredded carrots and cook until softened, about 5–7 minutes.
Add seasonings: Pour in the coconut aminos, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and ground ginger. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
Simmer briefly: Let the mixture cook for 2–3 more minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Garnish and serve: Spoon into bowls and top with sliced scallions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

Swap the protein: Ground turkey, chicken, or beef can be used in place of pork for a different flavor.
Add heat if desired: A dash of sriracha or red chili oil gives this dish a nice little kick.
Double the batch: This recipe scales up easily for meal prep or leftovers—just use a wide skillet to avoid steaming the vegetables.
Meal prep friendly: This dish stores well in the fridge for up to 4 days and reheats beautifully.
Toast the sesame seeds: A quick toast in a dry skillet deepens their nutty flavor and makes the garnish stand out more.
Add water chestnuts at the end of cooking: Stir them in during the last few minutes for an extra layer of crunch.
