Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Prep the veggies

    Slice the napa cabbage into 1 cm strips. Cut the carrot into thin sticks or grate it coarsely.

  2. Prep the aromatics

    Peel and finely mince the garlic and the 10 g of ginger. Squeeze the lemon and keep the juice in a small bowl with the soy sauce.

  3. Heat the wok

    Heat the wok over high heat with the half tablespoon of olive oil.

  4. Sear the ground pork

    Add the 320 g of pork, season with salt and pepper and break it up with the spatula. Cook it until there's no pink left at all.

    Tip · Don't stir too early so the pork browns a bit, then break it up well into small pieces so it cooks through evenly.

  5. Add the garlic, ginger and carrot

    Add the garlic, ginger and carrot. Keep stirring so the garlic doesn't burn.

  6. Cook the cabbage

    Add the napa cabbage and stir-fry over high heat. It should stay a little crunchy.

    Tip · Don't cover the wok and keep the heat high: the cabbage should stir-fry, not boil, otherwise it releases its water and goes limp.

  7. Season and serve

    Pour in the soy sauce and lemon juice mix and toss for 30 seconds. Taste, adjust with pepper, then serve right away. Make sure the pork is cooked through, with no pink left.
