Instructions
- Prep all ingredients first. Thinly shred 1/2 small head Organic Green Cabbage ($1.99), enough for about 5 to 6 cups. Slice 8 ounces Baby Bella Mushrooms ($2.69). Slice 1 bunch Green Onion ($1.29), separating white and green parts. Mince 3 cloves from Organic Garlic, 3 CT ($2.89). Peel and shred 2 carrots from the Organic Carrot Bag, 16 OZ ($1.79 bag), about 4 ounces. Cut 1 lime ($0.69) into wedges.
- Mix a quick sauce in a small bowl: stir together 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon honey or brown sugar, 2 tablespoons water, and a pinch of black pepper. Add red pepper flakes if you want some heat.
- Heat 1 tablespoon neutral oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound Ground Pork ($5.99) and cook, breaking it up, for 5 to 6 minutes until browned and cooked through.
- Add the white parts of the Green Onion ($1.29), the 3 minced garlic cloves ($2.89), and the sliced Baby Bella Mushrooms ($2.69). Cook 3 to 4 minutes until the mushrooms soften and start to brown.
- Add the shredded Organic Green Cabbage ($1.99) and shredded carrots from the Organic Carrot Bag ($1.79). Stir-fry 3 to 5 minutes until the cabbage wilts but still keeps a little bite.
- Pour in the soy mixture and toss for 1 to 2 minutes so everything gets glossy and lightly coated. Squeeze in half the lime ($0.69).
- Top with the green parts of the sliced Green Onion ($1.29) and serve as is or over pantry rice if you have it. Pair with dry Riesling or Pinot Noir.
Cook time: 30 minutes

Health notes: About 430-540 calories per serving. Good protein, lots of volume from cabbage and mushrooms, and lighter than a noodle stir-fry. For extra fiber, serve over brown rice if you have it in the pantry.
Drink pairing: Reach for a dry Riesling or Pinot Noir. Riesling handles the savory-sweet balance and any soy-based seasoning beautifully, while Pinot Noir is soft enough for pork and mushrooms without overwhelming them.
