Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1.5 pound ground pork
• 2 clove garlic (minced)
• 1 fresh ginger (grated)
• 4 cup green cabbage (shredded)
• 2 carrots (julienned or shredded)
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 package frozen cauliflower rice (12 ounces each)
• 2 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon green onions (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add ground pork and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
2. Add minced garlic and grated fresh ginger to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Stir in shredded green cabbage and julienned or shredded carrots. Cook for 3-5 minutes, until cabbage starts to wilt but is still crisp-tender.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Pour the sauce over the pork and vegetables, tossing to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes until heated through.
5. While the stir-fry cooks, prepare the cauliflower rice: Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a separate large skillet over medium-high heat. Add frozen cauliflower rice and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
6. Serve the sautéed pork and cabbage stir-fry over cauliflower rice, garnished with optional chopped green onions.

Notes

If you prefer a little heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the stir-fry with the garlic and ginger. You can use pre-chopped cabbage and carrots for even faster prep.
