Ingredients

Scale

Protein & Meat

1 lb (450g) Ground Pork or Turkey (Lean protein source)

Vegetables & Aromatics

4 cups (350g) Green Cabbage (Shredded)
2 cups (175g) Purple Cabbage (Shredded)
1 cup (130g) Carrots (Julienned)
3 cloves Garlic (Freshly minced)
1 tbsp (15g) Fresh Ginger (Grated)
2 stalks Green Scallions (Sliced on a bias)

Sauces & Oils

1 tbsp (15ml) Toasted Sesame Oil
3 tbsp (45ml) Soy Sauce (Or coconut aminos)
2 tbsp (30g) Mayonnaise
1 tsp (5ml) Sriracha

Garnishes

1 tbsp Sesame Seeds (Mixed white and black)

Instructions

Brown the Meat: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork or turkey and cook until browned and crispy crumbles form, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and to break apart the meat.
Add Aromatics: Add the freshly minced garlic, grated ginger, and toasted sesame oil to the skillet with the cooked meat. Sauté for about 1 minute until the garlic and ginger are fragrant, taking care not to burn them.
Sauté Vegetables: Toss in the shredded green cabbage, purple cabbage, julienned carrots, and pour in the soy sauce (or coconut aminos). Stir everything together and sauté for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp, allowing the flavors to meld.
Assemble and Garnish: Transfer the cooked mixture into serving bowls. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with sriracha to create a spicy mayo drizzle. Drizzle over the bowls and sprinkle with mixed white and black sesame seeds and sliced green scallions for added texture and flavor.

Notes

You can swap ground pork for ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
Use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free or soy-free alternative.
Adjust sriracha quantity to control the heat level of the spicy mayo.
This recipe is perfect for meal prepping and reheats well in the microwave or on the stovetop.
To keep it low-carb, omit the carrots or reduce the quantity.
