Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil or other high-heat cooking oil
- 1 pound ground pork (or ground chicken, turkey, or finely crumbled firm tofu)
- 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (or 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon sriracha or other hot sauce, or to taste
- 1 teaspoon sweetener, such as erythritol, xylitol, or liquid stevia (optional)
- 1 bag (14-16 ounces) coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
- 1/2 cup chopped water chestnuts (canned, drained)
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced, for garnish
- Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
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.
