Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground pork (or ground chicken/turkey)
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced (or 1 teaspoon ground ginger)
  • 1 bag (14 oz) coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage (with carrots)
  • 1 cup shredded carrots (if not included in coleslaw mix)
  • 1/4 cup coconut aminos
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt to taste (start with 1/2 teaspoon)
  • 2 green onions, sliced thin (optional topping)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional topping)
  • Red pepper flakes or sriracha (optional topping)
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (optional topping)

Instructions

  1. Prep your veggies and aromatics: Thinly slice onion, mince garlic and ginger, and shred carrots if needed. If using whole cabbage, slice into thin ribbons.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add avocado oil and swirl to coat. When hot, add ground pork. Cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking up with a spoon until browned and nearly cooked through.
  3. Add aromatics: Stir in onion, garlic, and ginger. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until fragrant and onions start to soften.
  4. Stir in veggies: Add coleslaw mix (or cabbage and carrots). Sauté, stirring often, for 5-6 minutes until cabbage wilts but still has a little bite.
  5. Season and finish: Pour in coconut aminos and rice vinegar, sprinkle black pepper and salt. Stir well so everything is coated. Drizzle sesame oil over the top and mix again. Taste and adjust salt or vinegar if needed. Cook another 2-3 minutes to blend flavors.
  6. Add toppings: Remove from heat, sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Add red pepper flakes or sriracha for heat, and chopped cilantro or parsley for freshness.
  7. Serve hot: Spoon into bowls and enjoy immediately. For meal prep, let cool before packing into containers.

Notes

Don’t overcook the veggies for best texture. Coconut aminos are milder than soy sauce, so taste and adjust salt as needed. For vegetarian or vegan, swap pork for crumbled tofu or tempeh. Double the recipe for meal prep. Add a fried egg on top for extra richness if desired.
