Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1 bag coleslaw mix
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, minced
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and prepare your mise en place by mincing garlic and ginger, slicing green onions, and measuring out soy sauce and sesame oil.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add sesame oil and allow it to warm for 30 seconds.
- Add ground pork to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon or spatula. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat is browned and no longer pink.
- Add minced garlic and ginger to the skillet. Stir and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Pour in soy sauce and stir to combine with the meat, allowing it to create a flavorful base.
- Add the entire bag of coleslaw mix to the skillet. Stir to combine with the meat and allow the cabbage to start wilting, about 3-4 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue cooking until the coleslaw is tender but still has a slight crunch, approximately 2-3 more minutes.
- Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions.
- Serve hot directly from the skillet, optionally with a side of rice or cauliflower rice for a complete meal.
Tips
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh garlic and ginger make a world of difference in flavor compared to pre-minced versions.
- Don't overcook the coleslaw: You want it to retain a slight crunch for the best texture and nutritional value.
- For extra heat, add a drizzle of sriracha or red pepper flakes to spice things up.
- Make it your own: Try substituting ground pork with ground chicken, turkey, or even tofu for a versatile meal.
- Meal prep friendly: This dish keeps well in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, making it perfect for lunch leftovers.
- For added crunch, top with toasted sesame seeds or crispy wonton strips just before serving.
- If you're watching sodium, use low-sodium soy sauce to control the salt content.
