Instructions

1. Heat avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add ground pork and cook, breaking it up, until browned and cooked through (5-7 minutes). Drain most excessive grease.
2. Add chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened and translucent (3-4 minutes). Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger; cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce (or tamari), rice vinegar, sesame oil, sriracha, and optional sweetener. Pour into the skillet and stir to coat. Simmer for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.
4. Add the coleslaw mix to the skillet. Stir and toss until it begins to wilt (5-7 minutes), ensuring it remains tender-crisp.
5. Stir in the chopped water chestnuts and cook for another minute.
6. Remove from heat, divide into bowls, and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat on the stovetop for best texture, or in the microwave or oven. This dish can be frozen for up to 2-3 months; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating. Texture may be softer after freezing.
