Toss to combine and stir-fry, cook for 3 to 5 minutes to soften the cabbage. Cook longer for softer cabbage, less for crispier, crunchy texture.

Add the sesame oil and green onions, toss to combine. Sprinkle with additional green onion and toasted sesame seeds.

Chopped green onions added to the shredded cabbage and ground pork in the cast iron skillet.

Adjust seasonings as needed. Serve/drizzle with extra tamari/coconut aminos, Sugar-free Teriyaki Sauce or Sweet and Sour Sauce if desired.

📌 Recipe Notes & Tips:

  • Use Tamari/gluten-free soy sauce for Keto and Coconut Aminos for Whole30, Paleo, or any diet.
  • I added 3 drops of liquid stevia with the sesame oil to add more depth to the flavor, but that is totally optional! It did not make the dish sweet, it just added another layer to offset the white pepper.
  • Substitute 1 tablespoon of ground ginger and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder for the fresh if you prefer.
  • Feel free to substitute pork sausage (sugar free), ground turkey, chicken or even beef depending on your family’s preference.
  • If using coconut aminos you will need to add more salt than if you are using tamari/soy sauce.
