Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 knob of ginger, grated
1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
chili paste to taste
1 pound ground pork
5-6 cups shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix
3 large carrots, diagonally sliced

Method

Warm the olive oil in a large skillet. Cook the minced garlic and grated ginger until they release their aroma.
Stir in the Chinese five-spice, soy sauce, chili paste and ground pork. Crumble the pork as it cooks until it is fully browned.
Place the shredded cabbage and sliced carrots into the skillet. Toss everything together until the vegetables are softened but still have a slight bite.
Spoon the pork and vegetable mixture over cooked rice. Top with chopped green onions and a drizzle of Sriracha, if desired.
