Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork or turkey
- 1 bag coleslaw mix
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- Green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 pound of ground pork or turkey, 1 bag of coleslaw mix, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 2 cloves of garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon of ginger (minced), and green onions for garnish.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Allow the oil to become hot but not smoking.
- Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet. Sauté for about 30 seconds, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Next, add the ground pork or turkey to the skillet. Use a spatula to break the meat apart as it cooks. Continue to cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the meat is browned and fully cooked.
- Once the meat is cooked, add the coleslaw mix to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
- Pour in the soy sauce and mix thoroughly, ensuring the coleslaw is evenly coated. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the coleslaw is tender but still has some crunch.
- Once the mixture is cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more soy sauce if desired.
- To serve, spoon the crack slaw into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions on top for added flavor and presentation.
- Enjoy your low carb crack slaw as a nutritious and delicious meal, perfect for lunch or dinner!
Tips
- Choose the Right Meat: While the recipe works great with ground pork or turkey, opt for a higher fat content (80/20 mix) to enhance flavor and juiciness.
- Prevent Soggy Slaw: To maintain a nice texture, cook the coleslaw mix just until it's tender-crisp. Overcooking will make it mushy.
- Flavor Boost: For an extra punch, consider adding a splash of sriracha or red pepper flakes for heat, or a drizzle of sesame oil at the end for depth.
- Meal Prep Friendly: This dish reheats beautifully, making it perfect for batch cooking. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Garnish Generously: Fresh green onions aren't just a garnish - they add a bright, crisp flavor that elevates the entire dish.
- Pan Selection: A wide skillet or wok works best to ensure even cooking and easy stirring.
