Ingredients
Protein
- 1 pound ground pork
Vegetables
- 4 cups coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
- 3 green onions, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
Seasonings and Sauces
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sriracha (optional)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Heat the skillet: Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat to prepare for cooking the pork and infuse it with nutty flavor.
- Cook the pork: Add the ground pork to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks to ensure even cooking and crumbling texture.
- Add aromatics: Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, enhancing the dish’s depth of flavor.
- Cook vegetables: Add the coleslaw mix to the skillet and cook for 4–5 minutes until the cabbage and carrots are slightly tender but still crisp.
- Add sauces and seasoning: Stir in soy sauce, rice vinegar, and optional sriracha for a balanced savory and tangy taste with a hint of heat.
- Simmer briefly: Cook everything together for another 2–3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the mixture to heat through.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving to add freshness and crunch.
Notes
- Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter, leaner protein alternative.
- Add mushrooms or water chestnuts for extra texture and flavor variety.
- Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days for convenient meal prep.
