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 (or more if you want it spicy)
- 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 to the skillet.
- Sauté for about a minute until fragrant.
- Add the ground pork or beef. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Use a spatula to break up the meat, cooking until browned for about 7-10 minutes. (Drain excess oil if desired.)
- Reduce heat to medium and add the coleslaw mix along with coconut aminos. Stir to coat and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender.
- Remove from heat, and stir in toasted sesame oil and green onions. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
For added heat, you may increase the amount of black pepper or add chili flakes.
This dish can also be made with ground chicken or turkey as a lighter option.
Substitute coconut aminos with low-sodium soy sauce if preferred.
