Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground pork or ground turkey
- 4 cups coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage
- 1/2 cup grated carrots
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 1/4 cup soy sauce or coconut aminos (for gluten-free)
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
- Sriracha or chili paste (optional, for extra heat)
Instructions
- Cook the Meat: Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add ground pork or turkey and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks.
- Sauté Aromatics: Stir in the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
- Add Vegetables: Add the coleslaw mix and grated carrots. Stir well to combine with the meat.
- Season: Pour in the soy sauce (or coconut aminos), rice vinegar, and an extra dash of sesame oil. Cook for another 5 minutes until the cabbage softens slightly.
- Add Spice: Stir in red pepper flakes and a drizzle of Sriracha or chili paste for added heat, if desired.
- Garnish & Serve: Remove from heat, sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, and serve hot.
Notes
- You can use ground chicken or turkey as an alternative to pork.
- For a gluten-free option, use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
- If you prefer a milder dish, omit the red pepper flakes and Sriracha.
- This can also be served over rice or cauliflower rice for a more filling meal.
