Ingredients
Protein and Oil
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
Vegetables and Aromatics
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
- 1 (14 oz) bag coleslaw mix
- 1 cup shredded carrots
Sauces and Seasonings
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sriracha (optional)
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
Instructions
- Heat Oil and Brown Pork: Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and cook until browned, breaking it into crumbles to ensure even cooking.
- Add Aromatics: Stir in the diced onion, minced garlic, and grated fresh ginger into the skillet with the pork. Cook for about 2 minutes until fragrant and the onions begin to soften.
- Add Vegetables: Add the coleslaw mix and shredded carrots to the skillet. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
- Season the Bowl: Pour in the low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sriracha if using. Stir the mixture thoroughly to evenly distribute the sauce and flavors.
- Cook Until Tender-Crisp: Continue cooking for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cabbage is tender but still has a slight crispness.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds just before serving for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- Ground chicken, turkey, or beef can be used instead of pork for variation.
- Serving over cooked rice or cauliflower rice makes the meal more filling.
- Leftovers keep well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, making it perfect for meal prep.
