Ingredients  

  • 1 Tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 1 Tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 cup edamame soybeans, fresh or frozen - you can throw them in frozen
  • ½ cup cabbage
  • 1-2 Tbsp fresh ginger, minced or 2 Tbsp ginger paste
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 Tbsp Sesame seeds, for topping
  • 1 medium green onion, for topping

Stir Fry Sauce

  • cup coconut aminos
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 Tbsp rice vinegar
  • 3 Tbsp water
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tsp corn starch
  • Optional - red pepper flakes or chili garlic

Instructions 

  1. In a medium to large cooking pan (or wok), bring head one tablespoon of avocado oil to medium-high heat. Add the ground pork. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, until the pork is cooked through and brownish in color. While the pork is cooking, mix your ingredients for the stir fry sauce.
  2. Remove the pork and set it aside on a plate.
  3. Add a tablespoon of sesame oil to the pan, along with the garlic cloves and onion. Cook over medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes until onions turn translucent. Add the chopped bell pepper, edamame, cabbage and ginger and cook for 3-5 more minutes, until veggies are softened or reach desired consistency.
  4. Add the cooked pork back to the stir fry and mix everything together. Taste and add salt/pepper, if needed. If you’re choosing to add the sauce, you can add it now to spread out the flavor.
  5. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve over rice, quinoa, sweet potatoes, etc!

Notes

We like to serve over instant pot basil rice, white rice, quinoa, roasted sweetpotatoes, etc.
