ASIAN PORK & CABBAGE SKILLET DINNER
1 pound ground pork *

Cover and simmer over medium-low heat until the cabbage is tender, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.

This is very easy to make and quite tasty in a comfort food kind of way. I thought about adding a little sesame oil but it made it taste a little harsh so I didn't. In fact, adding a tiny bit of Splenda helped take the slight bite out of the cabbage. You could easily change this up by adding some hot chili paste or some extra vegetables such as mushrooms or bean sprouts. Although this didn't come out very saucy, it is by no means dry and I like it as it is. If you'd like more of a sauce, try doubling the soy sauce. Click the photo for a close-up.
