Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable or avocado oil
  • 1 pound ground pork or chicken, turkey, beef, or plant-based alternative
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha optional
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Equipment

  • Large skillet or wok
  • Spoon
  • Measuring spoons
  • Measuring cups
  • knife
  • cutting board

Method
 

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the ground meat and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Add the minced ginger and garlic to the skillet and cook for about a minute, until fragrant.
  4. Stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, sriracha (if using), and hoisin sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  5. Add the coleslaw mix (or shredded cabbage) to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook until the cabbage is tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Remove from heat and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

Don't overcrowd the pan when browning the meat. Adjust the sweetness and spice by adding more hoisin sauce or sriracha to taste. Feel free to add other vegetables like sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, water chestnuts, or bamboo shoots. This dish can be made ahead of time and reheated. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To make it spicy, add red pepper flakes or chili oil. For a sweeter version, add a splash of pineapple juice or honey. Serve over rice or with a fried egg for a more substantial meal. If it is too salty, add rice vinegar or lime juice. If it is too sweet, add soy sauce or red pepper flakes. If it is too dry, add chicken broth or water.
