Instructions
Cook the Meat:
In a large skillet or wok, cook the ground pork over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Add Aromatics:
Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and minced ginger to the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent and the garlic and ginger are fragrant.
Add Vegetables:
Add the thinly sliced cabbage and shredded carrots to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.
Season:
Stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Finish and Serve:
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the chopped green onions.
Garnish with sesame seeds if desired.
Optional Toppings:
Serve with a drizzle of sriracha or your favorite hot sauce for an extra kick.
