25 minThis quick pork stir-fry uses just a splash of broth instead of oil, keeping it lean while the cabbage steams to tender-crisp perfection.
Fresh ginger and garlic infuse every bite with aromatic flavor, while red pepper flakes add a customizable kick.
Serve over steamed rice or cauliflower rice for a satisfying meal that’s diabetic-friendly and packed with vegetables.
Kitchen Tips
- Slice uniformly: Cut the pork into evenly sized strips so they cook at the same rate and stay tender throughout.
- Don’t crowd the pan: If your wok or pan is small, cook the pork in two batches to ensure proper browning rather than steaming.
- Adjust the heat level: Start with a pinch of red pepper flakes and taste before adding more; you can always add heat but can’t take it away.

Heat broth in a large non-stick frying pan or in a wok.
