Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 1 pound ground pork or ground chicken
Vegetables
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 (14-ounce) bag coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage and carrots
- 2 green onions, sliced
Sauces and Oils
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sriracha or chili garlic sauce (optional)
Garnish
- Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the oil and cook the meat: Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add ground pork or chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it up as it cooks, about 5–7 minutes.
- Sauté aromatics: Add minced garlic, grated ginger, and diced onion to the skillet. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and the onions have softened.
- Add vegetables: Stir in the coleslaw mix and cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender but still slightly crisp.
- Season the stir fry: Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sriracha if using. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes so the flavors meld.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from heat and top with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot by itself or over rice or cauliflower rice for a heartier meal.
Notes
- Serve over rice or cauliflower rice for a more filling meal.
- Substitute tofu for a vegetarian version.
- Use pre-shredded broccoli slaw instead of coleslaw mix for a twist.
- Adjust the spice level by modifying the amount of sriracha added.
