• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil

1 lb ground pork

1 tsp salt (omit if using tamari or soy sauce)

2 tsp ground ginger

1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

2 -3 garlic cloves, minced

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

4 cups thinly sliced cabbage

3 green onions, finely chopped

1 tbsp sesame oil

1/4 cup coconut aminos, tamari, or soy sauce

1 tbsp sriracha

1 tbsp rice vinegar

1 tbsp maple syrup

juice of 1/2 lime

1 cup dry jasmine or basmati rice, cooked for serving

1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped for serving

Directions

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the ground pork to the pan. Brown the pork all over, then season with the salt, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Stir in the garlic. Continue cooking while stirring for 1-2 minutes until aromatic.

Add the bell pepper, cabbage, and green onion to the pan and incorporate into the pork mixture. Continue sauteing to soften the cabbage and peppers, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes.

While the mix cooks, prepare the rice.

Once the peppers and cabbage are softened, reduce heat to low and add the sesame oil, coconut aminos, sriracha, rice vinegar, maple syrup, and lime juice to the pan. Stir and cook for another 3-5 minutes to let the flavors combine and deglaze the pan.

When the rice is cooked, plate with even servings of rice and pork, and top with the chopped cilantro. Enjoy immediately for best results.
