Start by cooking the pork: add the pork to a large skillet or wok (no need to add any oil!) and cook it over medium heat, using a wooden spoon or spatula to break it up. Continue cooking until it's no longer pink, then let it sit undisturbed for 3-4 minutes, which will allow the bottom to crisp up nicely, which enhances the flavor. Remove the pork with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Next, make the sauce: whisk all of the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside.
To the skillet, add the green onions and cabbage and sauté for 2 minutes. Then, add the bok choy and carrots and cook until the bok choy is wilted, 2-3 minutes. Last, add the garlic and sauté for 1 more minute.
Add the pork back into the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Pour the sauce into the skillet, using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to stir so that the pork and veggies are coated in the sauce. If the sauce doesn't seem to be thickening, turn the heat back to up to medium.
Serve pork stir fry over rice or cauliflower rice, and garnish with green onions, red pepper flakes and/or sesame seeds. Enjoy!
