A quick and easy keto-friendly dish featuring crispy ground pork and fresh, crunchy vegetables that delivers all the flavors of an egg roll without the wrapper.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground pork (80/20)
  • 4 cups green cabbage, shredded
  • 1/2 cup carrots, shredded
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 3 tbsp coconut aminos or soy sauce
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep your veggies: shred 4 cups of green cabbage, shred 1/2 cup of carrots, slice 3 green onions, mince 3 cloves of garlic and 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet or wok. Add 1 lb ground pork, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and crispy edges develop, about 8-10 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper while cooking.
  3. Add minced garlic and ginger to the skillet. Stir constantly to avoid burning; cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Add shredded cabbage, carrots, and green onions to the skillet. Stir well to combine. Cook until cabbage starts to soften but still retains some crunch, about 4-5 minutes.
  5. Pour in 3 tablespoons of coconut aminos or soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of rice vinegar, and optional 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Stir thoroughly to coat all ingredients. Taste and adjust salt or pepper if needed.
  6. Give everything one last stir, ensuring the pork stays crispy and veggies are evenly mixed. Remove from heat and serve immediately.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking pork; cook in batches if needed for best crispiness. Keep heat medium-high but not too hot to avoid burning garlic. Use fresh ginger and garlic for best flavor. Reheat leftovers in a skillet to maintain pork crispiness; avoid microwaving.
