Ingredients

Units Scale
  • For the Bowl:
  • 1 lb (450g) ground pork (or ground turkey, chicken, or beef)
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil (or olive oil)
  • 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated (or 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger)
  • 1 small carrot, julienned (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
  • 4 cups coleslaw mix (or shredded cabbage)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or coconut aminos for keto/Whole30)
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
  • 1 green onion, sliced (for garnish)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • Optional Toppings:

  • Sriracha or chili garlic sauce (for spice)
  • Crushed pork rinds (for crunch, keto-friendly)

Instructions

  • 1. Cook the Meat
  • Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add ground pork and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it up as it browns.
  • Once cooked, remove excess grease if needed.
  • 2. Add Aromatics & Veggies
  • Push the meat to one side and add the remaining sesame oil.
  • Sauté onion, garlic, and ginger for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
  • Stir in carrots and coleslaw mix, cooking for 3-5 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp.
  • 3. Add Sauce & Simmer
  • Stir in soy sauce, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes.
  • Cook for another 2-3 minutes, letting the flavors meld.
  • 4. Garnish & Serve
  • Remove from heat and top with green onions, sesame seeds, and optional fried egg.
  • Drizzle with sriracha for extra spice and enjoy!

Notes

  • Make it Whole30: Use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce and omit the rice vinegar.
  • Extra Crunch? Top with crushed pork rinds or slivered almonds.
  • Meal Prep Friendly: Store in the fridge for up to 4 days and reheat in a skillet or microwave.
