Ingredients
Scale
Ground Pork Mixture:
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 lb ground pork (or ground chicken or turkey)
- 1 small yellow onion (diced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
Vegetables and Seasonings:
- 1 (14 oz) bag coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sriracha (optional)
- 2 green onions (sliced)
- Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Ground Pork Mixture: Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Sauté Aromatic Vegetables: Add the diced onion, garlic, and ginger to the skillet. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and the onion softens.
- Cook Vegetables and Seasonings: Stir in the coleslaw mix and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring often, until the cabbage is tender but still slightly crisp. Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sriracha (if using). Stir well to combine and cook for another 1–2 minutes to heat through.
- Finish and Serve: Remove from heat and top with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot.
Notes
- Serve over rice or cauliflower rice for a more filling meal.
- This dish is naturally low-carb and great for meal prep.
