Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450 g) ground pork, chicken, turkey, or beef
- 4 cups (280 g) coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage
- 1 cup (100 g) shredded carrots
- 2 tbsps sesame oil (or vegetable oil)
- 3 tbsps soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced (or 1 tsp ground ginger)
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sriracha (optional, for spice)
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- Additional sriracha or soy sauce
Instructions
- Sear Protein: Warm sesame oil in a spacious skillet over medium-high heat. Crumble ground meat into the pan, cooking until thoroughly browned and caramelized, ensuring no pink remains.
- Develop Flavor Base: Relocate meat to one skillet side, introducing diced onion, minced garlic, and fresh ginger. Sauté aromatics until fragrant and translucent, then integrate with the cooked protein.
- Incorporate Vegetable Medley: Introduce coleslaw mix and julienned carrots into the skillet. Toss ingredients consistently, allowing vegetables to soften while maintaining a slight crunch, approximately 4 minutes.
- Create Sauce Harmony: Stream soy sauce, rice vinegar, and optional sriracha across the mixture. Stir thoroughly, allowing liquids to coat and penetrate all ingredients, intensifying overall flavor profile.
- Finish and Plate: Remove from heat, garnishing with thinly sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately, offering additional condiments alongside for personalized seasoning.
Notes
- Brown the ground meat thoroughly to develop a rich, caramelized flavor that adds depth to the dish. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure proper meat searing.
- Cook coleslaw mix and carrots just until tender-crisp to maintain a fresh crunch and prevent soggy vegetables. Quick, high-heat stir-frying preserves their vibrant texture and nutritional value.
- Adjust sauce ingredients to taste, balancing saltiness from soy sauce with tangy rice vinegar and optional heat from sriracha. Taste and modify proportions for perfect flavor harmony.
- Swap ground meat with plant-based alternatives like tofu or tempeh for vegetarian version. Use low-sodium soy sauce and gluten-free alternatives to accommodate dietary restrictions while maintaining authentic taste profile.
