Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a pot, combine the rice with 3 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, and allow to cook covered for 15 minutes, or as per package directions, until it can be fluffed with a fork.
  2. In a small bowl, add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and minced ginger, and stir until well combined. Set aside.
  3. In a large skillet on medium-high heat, warm the sesame oil, then add the ground pork and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula or wooden spoon into small pieces, for 4-5 minutes until mostly cooked.
  4. Once the pork is mostly cooked, reduce the temperature to medium heat, add the carrots, cabbage, and green onions (white parts only) to the pan, along with one tablespoon of water. Stir to combine with the pork, cover, and allow to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.
  5. Once the vegetables are tender, add the soy sauce mixture to the pan, stirring to ensure everything is well coated in the sauce, and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Once the rice and pork mixture is cooked, assemble the bowls. Divide the rice evenly across 4 meal prep containers or bowls, layer with ¼ of the pork mixture, and top with sliced green onions (green parts only) and sesame seeds.
  7. The bowls can be served immediately, stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
