03 - 3 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced
04 - 1 cup shredded carrots
05 - 3 green onions, sliced
06 - 2 cloves garlic, minced

# How To Make It:
01 - Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add ground pork and cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5 minutes.
02 - Add diced onion, garlic, and ginger to the pan. Sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant.
03 - Stir in cabbage and carrots. Cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables are just tender, about 4 to 5 minutes.
04 - Pour in soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Toss well to combine and heat through, about 2 minutes.
05 - Stir in green onions and cook for 1 more minute. Taste and adjust salt if needed.
06 - Serve hot in bowls, garnished with sesame seeds and extra sliced green onions.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
- It delivers all the crunch and umami of a restaurant egg roll without a single carb wrapper in sight
- The whole thing comes together in 25 minutes which means it saves weeknights that would otherwise end in takeout
02 -
- Sesame oil is a finishing oil not a cooking oil and adding it too early will make the whole bowl taste bitter and scorched
- Overcooking the cabbage is the number one mistake here because mushy cabbage turns this from a craveable bowl into something that feels like diet food
03 -
- Slice the cabbage yourself instead of buying pre shredded because the thickness you control makes a real difference in the final texture
- Coconut aminos are sweeter than soy sauce so if you swap them in add a pinch of salt to bring back the depth
