Ingredients
Scale
Protein and Aromatics
- 1 pound ground pork or ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 small onion, diced
Vegetables and Sauces
- 1 bag (14 oz) coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage and carrots
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sriracha or chili garlic sauce (optional)
Garnishes
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Meat: In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the ground pork or turkey and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up with a spatula, about 5–7 minutes.
- Sauté Aromatics: Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and diced onion to the skillet. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and the onion has softened.

- Finish and Serve: Remove from heat and stir in the sliced green onions. Garnish with sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately, optionally over rice or cauliflower rice.

- Serve over rice or cauliflower rice for a heartier meal.
- You can substitute ground chicken or plant-based crumbles for a lighter or vegetarian version.
