Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground pork or turkey
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 (16 ounce) bag coleslaw mix
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce or coconut aminos
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Optional toppings: sriracha mayo, sesame seeds, chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground meat and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain excess grease.
  2. Add chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  4. Add the coleslaw mix to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce (or coconut aminos), rice vinegar, and sesame oil.
  6. Pour the sauce over the meat and cabbage mixture. Stir to combine and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  7. Serve hot, with optional toppings like sriracha mayo, sesame seeds, and chopped green onions.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic and ginger.
  • This dish is excellent for meal prep. Store in airtight containers for up to 3 days.
  • Adjust soy sauce or coconut aminos to your salt preference.
