Instructions
- In a small #[Mixing Bowl], whisk together the @[Soy Sauce] (or @[Tamari]), @[Rice Vinegar], @[Sriracha], and @[Honey]. Set aside.
- Heat the @[Neutral Oil] in a large #[Skillet] or #[Wok] over ^[medium-high heat]. Add the @[Ground Pork] and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about ~[6–8 minutes]. Drain any excess fat if needed.
- Push the @[Pork] to one side of the pan. Add the white parts of the @[Green Onions], @[Garlic], and @[Ginger] to the empty side. Sauté for ~[1–2 minutes] until fragrant, then stir everything together.
- Add the shredded @[Green Cabbage] and @[Carrots] to the #[Skillet]. Toss to combine with the @[Pork]. Stir-fry for ~[4–5 minutes], until the @[Cabbage] is wilted but still has a slight bite.
- Pour the sauce over the #[Skillet] and toss everything to coat evenly. Cook for ~[1–2 more minutes] until the sauce is absorbed and everything is glossy. Drizzle with @[Sesame Oil] and stir to combine.
- Divide into bowls and top with the green parts of the sliced @[Green Onions] and toasted @[Sesame Seeds]. Serve as-is for a low-carb meal, or over steamed rice or cauliflower rice.
