Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 lb (450 g) ground pork, chicken, turkey, or beef
Vegetables:
- 4 cups (280 g) coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage
- 1 cup (100 g) shredded carrots
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced (or 1 teaspoon ground ginger)
Seasonings and Liquids:
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil (or vegetable oil)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sriracha (optional, for spice)
Garnish:
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- Additional sriracha or soy sauce
Instructions
- Initiate the culinary process by igniting a skillet with sesame oil, creating a sizzling foundation for the ground meat. Unleash the meat into the heated surface, methodically fragmenting it until a rich, caramelized exterior emerges, signaling complete transformation.
- Choreograph the aromatic ensemble by sliding the cooked meat to one side of the skillet. Introduce diced onion, minced garlic, and freshly grated ginger into the open territory, allowing them to dance and release their fragrant essence until they soften and become translucent.
- Integrate the coleslaw mix and julienned carrots into the aromatic landscape, stirring with purpose. Allow the vegetables to tenderize while maintaining a delicate crispness, creating a vibrant textural symphony.
- Unleash the flavor catalyst by streaming soy sauce, rice vinegar, and optional sriracha across the skillet. Orchestrate a thorough coating, ensuring each ingredient is embraced by the liquid harmony, permitting the flavors to intertwine and deepen.
- Elevate the dish’s presentation by gracefully transferring the mixture from heat. Crown the creation with a cascade of sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds, transforming the bowl into a visually stunning culinary artwork.
- Serve immediately, offering accompanying condiments like additional soy sauce or sriracha to personalize the dining experience and accommodate individual taste preferences.
Notes
- Swap ground meat with plant-based crumbles or tofu for a vegetarian version that maintains the dish’s protein-packed profile.
- Reduce sodium by using low-sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos, which offers a similar umami flavor without excessive salt.
- Control spice levels by gradually adding sriracha, allowing each person to customize heat according to their tolerance.
- Make this recipe meal-prep friendly by storing in airtight containers for up to 4 days, ensuring vegetables remain crisp and flavors continue to develop.
