Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons ginger (peeled and minced)
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- ½ large green cabbage (trimmed and sliced (or 1 whole small green cabbage))
- 1 cup chicken broth (or veggie broth)
- brown rice noodles (cooked according to package directions (for serving))
- green onions (sliced, optional garnish)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, use your hands to combine the pork, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Form into golf ball sized meatballs and set aside.
- In a large sauté pan (with sides and a lid), heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides, about 5 minutes.
- Add the cabbage and cook while stirring for another minute or two until it begins to wilt.
- Pour in the broth, cover with the lid, and cook until the meatballs are done all the way through (no longer pink on the inside), another 5 minutes.
- Remove the lid and simmer for another minute or two so the liquid can reduce slightly. Pour over rice noodles, garnish with green onions, and serve warm.
Notes
