Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb Ground meat (pork, chicken, turkey, or beef) Pork is classic, but any ground meat works.
  • 1 bag Coleslaw mix Easiest option; can also use shredded green cabbage.
  • 2 medium Carrots Usually in slaw mix; add more for sweetness if desired.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Fresh is best; jarred is acceptable for convenience.
  • 1 tbsp Ginger Fresh ginger preferred for flavor.
  • 3 tbsp Soy sauce Use low sodium if preferred.
  • 1 tbsp Sesame oil Adds classic flavor; stir in at the end.
  • 2 each Green onions Chopped for garnish and freshness.

Method
 

Cooking
  1. Brown the meat: Heat a large skillet on medium high heat. Add your ground meat and cook until it is no longer pink, breaking it up for small browned bits.
  2. Add aromatics: Stir in garlic and ginger; cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add cabbage and carrots: Toss in coleslaw mix and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until tender but still crispy.
  4. Season it: Add soy sauce and optional rice vinegar. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding sweetness or heat as desired.
  5. Finish: Turn off heat and stir in sesame oil. Top with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

Best served fresh, but keeps well in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. Reheat in a skillet for the best texture.
