Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 3 tbsp fresh ginger (minced or grated; or use 3/4 tsp ground ginger)
- 1 lb ground pork (or ground beef)
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 6 cups shredded coleslaw mix (or cabbage and carrots chopped with a knife)
- 1/4 cup coconut aminos (or 1–2 tablespoons more if you like; you can also use low-sodium soy sauce)
- 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1/4 cup green onions
- sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat avocado oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add minced garlic and ginger, sauté for about a minute until fragrant.
- Add the ground pork (or beef), seasoning with sea salt and black pepper. Break up the meat with a spatula and cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium and add coleslaw mix and coconut aminos; stir to coat well. Cook until the cabbage is tender, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat and stir in toasted sesame oil and green onions. If desired, garnish with sesame seeds.
Notes
Feel free to use ground chicken or turkey as a lighter option instead of pork or beef.
Customize with extra vegetables or spices to suit your taste.
For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes or sriracha.
