Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground chicken or pork (can substitute with ground turkey or plant-based crumbles)
  • 4 cups coleslaw mix (pre-shredded cabbage and carrots)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp grated ginger
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce (use tamari for gluten-free or coconut aminos for a slightly sweeter option)
  • 2 tbsp sriracha (adjust to your spice preference)
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 stalks green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tbsp of sesame oil. Let it heat up for about 30 seconds until it’s hot and fragrant.
  2. Add 1 lb of ground chicken or pork to the skillet. Break it up with a spatula and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat if needed.
  3. Lower the heat to medium and add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp of grated ginger. Stir for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
  4. Toss in 4 cups of coleslaw mix and stir well to combine with the meat. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender but still crisp.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp sriracha, and 2 tbsp rice vinegar. Pour the sauce into the skillet, stirring to coat all the ingredients. Cook for another 2 minutes.
  6. Turn off the heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

For softer veggies, cover the skillet for a minute or two while cooking the coleslaw mix. Add chopped water chestnuts or sliced snap peas for extra crunch. Sprinkle crushed peanuts on top for added flavor.
