Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground meat (chicken, turkey, or a meat alternative)
  • 4 cups coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced or grated
  • 2 each green onions, sliced For garnish
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional toppings: sesame seeds, Sriracha, chopped cilantro

Instructions
 

Cooking

  • In a large skillet, over medium heat, add the ground meat. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
  • Push the meat to one side of the skillet and add the minced garlic and ginger to the empty space. Sauté for about a minute until fragrant, then stir them into the meat.
  • Add the coleslaw mix to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the cooked meat and continue cooking for about 5 minutes until the cabbage has wilted and softened.
  • Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything together thoroughly, allowing the sauce to coat all the ingredients evenly.
  • Remove from heat and top with sliced green onions. Serve immediately in bowls, and don’t forget the optional toppings for extra flavor!
