Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 lb ground pork
  2. 1 bag coleslaw mix
  3. 1/4 cup soy sauce
  4. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  5. 1 tsp ginger, minced
  6. 2 green onions, sliced
  7. 1 tbsp sesame oil
  8. Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add sesame oil and allow it to warm for 30 seconds.
  3. 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.
  4. Add minced garlic and ginger to the skillet. Stir and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  5. Pour in soy sauce and stir to combine with the meat, allowing it to create a flavorful base.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions.
  9. Serve hot directly from the skillet, optionally with a side of rice or cauliflower rice for a complete meal.

Tips

  1. Use fresh ingredients: Fresh garlic and ginger make a world of difference in flavor compared to pre-minced versions.
  2. Don't overcook the coleslaw: You want it to retain a slight crunch for the best texture and nutritional value.
  3. For extra heat, add a drizzle of sriracha or red pepper flakes to spice things up.
  4. Make it your own: Try substituting ground pork with ground chicken, turkey, or even tofu for a versatile meal.
  5. Meal prep friendly: This dish keeps well in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, making it perfect for lunch leftovers.
  6. For added crunch, top with toasted sesame seeds or crispy wonton strips just before serving.
  7. If you're watching sodium, use low-sodium soy sauce to control the salt content.
