Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground pork or chicken
  • 3 cups shredded cabbage (green or Napa)
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

  • Optional toppings: sliced water chestnuts, bean sprouts, chopped cilantro
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking oil (vegetable or sesame oil)

Instructions
