Savory Pork and Cabbage Stir-fry

• Ground pork

  8.8 oz
• Green cabbage

  0.5 head
• Garlic

  2 cloves
• Fresh ginger

  1 inch
• Soy sauce

  3 tbsp
• Rice vinegar

  1 tbsp
• Toasted sesame oil

  1 tsp
• Granulated sugar

  1 tsp
• Cornstarch

  1 tsp
• Water

  2 tbsp
• Vegetable oil

  1 tbsp

All Steps

1. 1

   In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and water. Set aside to make the stir-fry sauce.

2. 2

   Roughly chop the green cabbage into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic and grate the fresh ginger.

3. 3

   Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat.

4. 4

   Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet with the pork. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

5. 5

   Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender-crisp.

6. 6

   Give the prepared stir-fry sauce a quick whisk again to ensure the cornstarch is dissolved, then pour it over the pork and cabbage in the skillet. Stir constantly for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and evenly coats all the ingredients.

7. 7

   Serve immediately, optionally over steamed rice.
