Ingredients

Scale

Serves 4

  • For the main dish:
    • 1 lb (450 g) ground pork, chicken, turkey, or beef
    • 2 tablespoons sesame oil (or vegetable oil)
    • 1 medium onion, diced
    • 3 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced (or 1 teaspoon ground ginger)
    • 4 cups (280 g) coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage
    • 1 cup (100 g) shredded carrots
    • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
    • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
    • 1 teaspoon sriracha (optional, for spice)
  • For garnish:
    • 2 green onions, sliced
    • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
    • Additional sriracha or soy sauce


Instructions

  1. Cook the meat:
    • Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
    • Add the ground meat and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add aromatics:
    • Push the cooked meat to one side of the skillet. Add the diced onion, garlic, and ginger to the other side. Cook until fragrant and softened, about 2 minutes. Mix everything together.
  3. Cook the vegetables:
    • Stir in the coleslaw mix and carrots. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.
  4. Add the sauce:
    • Pour in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sriracha (if using). Stir to coat the ingredients evenly and cook for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Serve:
    • Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve warm with additional soy sauce or sriracha on the side, if desired.

Notes

  • For a keto-friendly version, ensure your soy sauce or tamari is low-carb, and skip the carrots or use shredded zucchini instead.
  • Add extra crunch with a handful of chopped water chestnuts or toasted almonds.
  • This dish reheats well and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
