Instructions

In a 12-inch (or larger) skillet over medium heat, melt the ghee. Once it’s hot, toss in the carrots, shallots, and mushrooms. Add a pinch of salt and sauté for 3-5 minutes, or until the shallots are soft and the mushrooms are tender.
Toss in the garlic and ginger, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add your choice of ground meat (e.g., ground turkey or chicken) in place of pork, along with another sprinkle of salt. Break the meat up with a spatula and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the meat is no longer pink.
Remove the cooked meat from the skillet and set it aside, leaving any cooking liquids in the pan.
Add the napa cabbage to the pan with another sprinkle of salt. Sauté for 3-5 minutes, or until the cabbage has wilted.
Lower the heat to medium, return the cooked meat to the skillet, and stir to combine.
Season the mixture with coconut aminos, rice vinegar, and fish sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Drizzle with toasted sesame oil and sprinkle with sliced scallions.
Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Feel free to add more veggies like bell peppers, zucchini, or snap peas to increase the veggie content.
To make this dish spicier, consider adding chili flakes, hot sauce, or fresh chopped chili peppers while cooking.
For a vegetarian option, swap the meat with tofu, tempeh, or another plant-based protein.
