Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 lb ground pork or ground turkey

Vegetables

  • 4 cups finely chopped cabbage
  • 1 cup grated carrots
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: mushrooms, bell peppers, snap peas (as desired)

Aromatics & Seasonings

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or coconut aminos for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Finely chop the cabbage and grate the carrots to ensure even cooking and texture — the veggies should be bite-sized but not mushy.
  2. Brown the Ground Meat: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook your ground meat until no longer pink, breaking it up into small pieces for that classic egg roll feel.
  3. Add Aromatics: Stir in minced garlic and fresh grated ginger, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and golden, which elevates the dish’s flavor.
  4. Toss in the Vegetables: Add the cabbage and carrots to your browned meat and cook until slightly tender but still crisp, stirring often to blend flavors.
  5. Season and Finish: Mix in soy sauce, sesame oil, and optional red pepper flakes; stir everything well to coat and cook for a couple more minutes before removing from heat.

Notes

  • Use fresh vegetables for the best crunch and natural sweetness.
  • Don’t overcook the veggies; keep cabbage slightly crisp to avoid sogginess.
  • Season gradually with soy sauce and spices to balance flavors.
  • Add sesame oil at the end to preserve its nutty aroma.
  • Double the batch — leftovers reheat well and taste even better the next day.
