Ingredients You’ll Need
- Ground Turkey: 93/7 ground turkey, ground pork, ground chicken, or even a leaner ground beef can be used.
- Cabbage: Thinly shredded cabbage is best. You’ll need about 1 medium head of cabbage. You can also do a mixture of purple and green cabbage to give it an extra pop of color. (Learn How to Shred Cabbage if you don’t already know!)
- Carrots: Thinly shredded whole carrots or matchstick carrots can be used.
- Ginger & garlic: Fresh ginger and garlic are both used to add a zippy punch of flavor. To make things easier you can buy the pre-peeled garlic and use ginger paste.
- Soy sauce: Traditional soy sauce works great, but has a little extra sodium. Tamari is my favorite to use and works if you’re gluten-free. Liquid coconut aminos also work if on a Whole30 diet. Opt for low-sodium soy sauce if you’re watching your sodium intake.
- Vinegar: Rice vinegar delivers the most authentic flavor. Apple cider vinegar and white wine vinegar will also work, if needed.
- Sesame Oil: Do not leave this very important ingredient out! It gives this dish a unique umami flavor.
