Equipment

  • Large skillet or wok
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Measuring spoons and cups
  • Cutting board and knife (if prepping fresh veggies)

Ingredients
  

Core Ingredients

  • 1 lb 450g ground pork (or ground chicken, turkey, or beef)
  • 1 bag 14 oz coleslaw mix (or 3 cups shredded cabbage and carrots)
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Optional Add-ons

  • 1 egg lightly beaten (optional, for extra protein)
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes or sriracha for spice
  • 2 green onions sliced (for garnish)
  • Toasted sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare Ingredients

  • Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
  • Measure out the soy sauce, sesame oil, and chili flakes.
  • If not using pre-shredded coleslaw mix, shred the cabbage and carrots.

Step 2: Cook the Ground Meat

  • Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
  • Add 1 tablespoon sesame oil to the pan. Once hot, add the ground pork (or chosen meat).
  • Cook until browned, breaking it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess fat, if necessary.

Step 3: Add Aromatics

  • Push the cooked meat to one side of the skillet.
  • Add the garlic and ginger to the empty space in the pan and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 4: Add Vegetables and Seasonings

  • Stir in the coleslaw mix (or shredded cabbage and carrots) with the meat and aromatics.
  • Pour in the soy sauce and mix well to coat everything evenly.
  • Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.

Step 5: Optional Egg Addition

  • If using, create a small well in the center of the skillet and pour in the beaten egg.
  • Stir quickly to scramble the egg into the mixture.

Step 6: Final Touches

  • Remove the skillet from heat.
  • Sprinkle sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and chili flakes or sriracha on top for garnish and extra flavor.
