Citrus Free Pork and Cabbage Stir-Fry

This stir-fry is the kind of weeknight dinner that looks and tastes like you put in way more effort than you actually did — tender slices of pork, crisp-edged cabbage, and sweet carrot matchsticks all tossed in a savory, ginger-forward sauce that clings to every bite. The sauce leans on coconut aminos and apple cider vinegar instead of anything citrus-based, so it delivers that bright, tangy depth without a drop of lemon or orange juice. For anyone navigating a citrus restriction, stir-fry sauces can be a minefield of hidden citrus zest or juice, but every ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify. Turmeric and double layers of fresh ginger do the heavy lifting on flavor, giving the dish a warmth and complexity that makes it feel anything but plain. The arrowroot starch thickens the sauce beautifully, coating the pork and vegetables in a glossy finish that looks like it came out of a restaurant wok. Lime wedges are listed as an optional garnish, so you can simply skip them and the dish stands completely on its own. Serve it straight from the skillet into bowls and dinner is done.
