Instructions

1

Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in large skillet over medium-high. Brown pork 6-7 minutes, breaking up.

💡 Brown deeply — half the flavour lives here.
2

Drain excess fat if needed (leave 1 tbsp). Add garlic and ginger, cook 30 seconds.

3

Add cabbage and carrots. Toss to combine — pile high; it shrinks.

💡 Add in two batches if it doesn't fit your pan.
4

Add coconut aminos and rice vinegar. Cook 5-6 minutes, tossing, until cabbage is tender-crisp.

6:00
5

Stir in sriracha if using. Taste and add more coconut aminos if needed.

6

Off heat, drizzle remaining sesame oil; top with spring onion and sesame seeds.

💡 Sesame oil added at end = aroma boost without burning.

Common Questions

Net carbs per serving?
About 6 g — cabbage is 3 g/100 g, carrots 7 g/100 g. Skip carrots for 4 g per serving.
Coconut aminos vs soy sauce?
Coconut aminos is gluten-free, 1 g carb/tbsp. Soy sauce is 0 g carbs. Either works.
Why ground pork?
Pork is the traditional egg-roll filling. Ground chicken or turkey work — leaner result needs extra sesame oil.
Can I add eggs?
Yes — push everything to one side at the end; crack 2 eggs into the empty space, scramble, fold in.
Topping ideas?
Crushed pork rinds for crunch, extra sriracha, sliced jalapeño, drizzle of chili oil.
