Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

Pickle the radishes and carrots

Thinly slice the radishes.

In a medium bowl, combine the radishes, carrots, and Asian savory pickle brine. Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Let stand, stirring occasionally, while you prepare the rest of the meal.

Prep the zucchini and cabbage

Lay the zucchini flat. Trim and discard the round end. Holding the stem end secure, using a peeler, shave the zucchini lengthwise into thin ribbons. Pat dry with a paper towel.
Cut away any core from the cabbage; thinly slice the cabbage.

Prep and cook your protein

Ground meat: Cut a small corner from the ground meat packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel.
Tofu: Pat the tofu dry with paper towels; cut into ½-inch cubes.
Plant-based chicken: Pat the plant-based chicken dry with a paper towel; cut any large pieces into 1-inch pieces

In a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add your protein, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring and breaking up the ground meat if using, until your protein is lightly browned but not yet cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the lemongrass paste and cook until your protein is cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the zucchini ribbons and cabbage to individual bowls. Using a slotted spoon, remove the pickled vegetables from the brine, add as many as you like, and top with your protein. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and serve any remaining pickled vegetables on the side.
