• 

  2 tbsp neutral oil (such as vegetable oil or canola oil), divided
• 

  1 lb ground pork
• 

  4 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced (about ¼ of a medium head)
• 

  1 medium carrot, peeled and julienned
• 

  4 scallions, cut into 1-inch pieces, white and green parts separated
  Ingredient note

  Scallions are the mildest of the onion family, and only a small amount is used here. That is likely fine for most people with GERD. If you prefer to always avoid scallions, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

• 

  2 cloves garlic, minced
  Required swap

  Chef's tip

  Swap it in for an equal amount of the oil or butter the recipe cooks with - do not add it on top of the existing fat.
• 

  1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
• 

  ¼ tsp white pepper
  Ingredient note

  White pepper can worsen reflux in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (less than 1/8 teaspoon per serving) is likely tolerated by many with GERD. If you prefer to always avoid white pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
