Bok choy adds a different texture but is similar in flavor.

Start by heating a skillet over medium heat.

Add 1 pound of ground pork to the skillet and cook until browned.

Once the pork is cooked, add 1 tablespoon of minced ginger and 1 tablespoon of minced garlic to the skillet and stir until fragrant.

Pour in 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and mix well.

Add 1/4 head of shredded cabbage and 1 cup of shredded carrots to the skillet and stir to combine.

Chop and add 1/2 onion to the mixture and stir until everything is well mixed.

If you want more crunch, you can add water chestnuts at this point.

Pour in 1/4 cup of soy sauce and stir to combine, adjusting seasoning as needed.

Add about 1 tablespoon of sriracha for a little heat, mixing well.

Cook until the cabbage and carrots are tender, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Once cooked, remove from heat and garnish with sliced scallions.

Serve the mixture over rice or noodles.
