  • 1 lb. ground pork
  • 1 tbsp. Olive oil
  • 2 eggs, lightly whisked
  • 1 tbsp. Sesame oil
  • 6 c. shredded cabbage
  • 1 c. shredded carrots
  • 2 tbsp. Hoisin Sauce
  • 1/3 c. soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 tbsp. Honey

Instructions

  1. In a shallow large skillet, turn to medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the ground pork and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, drain the pork, and set aside.

  4. In a medium mixing bowl, add the Hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chili oil or red crushed pepper flakes and whisk. Pour the sauce over the stir fry and toss. Let simmer on low for 5 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, sprinkle with fresh cilantro, and sliced green onions. Serve over cooked brown rice, white rice, or ramen noodles.
