Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (454g) ground meat (turkey, chicken, pork, or beef)
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
  • 1 tablespoon (15g) fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 small onion, diced (about 1 cup)
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned (about 1 cup)
  • 6 cups (450g) coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage
  • 1 cup (100g) bean sprouts (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons (45ml) soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons (10ml) sriracha or chili garlic sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon (5g) honey or brown sugar
  • 4 green onions, sliced
  • Optional toppings: sesame seeds, crispy wonton strips, chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sesame oil and brown the ground meat for 5-7 minutes, breaking into crumbles.
  2. Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the cooked meat, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent.
  4. Add julienned carrots and stir-fry for another 2 minutes until slightly softened.
  5. Add coleslaw mix in batches, stir-frying for 3-4 minutes until wilted but still has texture. Add bean sprouts in the last minute if using.
  6. Whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha, and honey in a small bowl. Pour over the mixture and simmer 1-2 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
  7. Remove from heat and fold in most of the green onions, reserving some for garnish.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with remaining green onions, sesame seeds, and optional crispy toppings.
