Ingredients

Meat and Aromatics

  • 1 lb. ground meat (pork, turkey, chicken, or beef)
  • 1 small sweet onion, diced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger or 1 ½ tablespoons grated fresh ginger

Sauces and Seasoning

  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • ¼ cup less sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce (add extra 1 tablespoon for sweeter sauce)
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Ground black pepper, to taste

Vegetables and Garnishes

  • 1 (16 ounce) bag coleslaw mix
  • ½ cup grated or matchstick carrots
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Optional garnish: sliced green onions, chives, fresh cilantro, toasted sesame seeds, chopped peanuts, crunchy chow mein noodles, and/or a squeeze of fresh lime juice

Instructions

  1. Cook the Meat: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground meat and cook, stirring occasionally, until it is fully browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease from the skillet before returning the meat to the heat.
  2. Sauté Onions and Flavorings: Add the diced sweet onion, sesame oil, and rice vinegar to the skillet with the meat. Cook together, stirring frequently, until the onion becomes tender and translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
  3. Add Sauces and Vegetables: Stir in the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, minced garlic, and ginger followed by the entire bag of coleslaw mix and the grated carrots. Continue cooking, stirring often, until the cabbage wilts but still retains some texture, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Finish and Season: Remove the skillet from heat and fold in the thinly sliced green onions. Season the entire mixture with kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste. Optionally, garnish with additional green onions, cilantro, sesame seeds, chopped peanuts, crunchy chow mein noodles, or a squeeze of fresh lime juice before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground pork with ground turkey, chicken, or beef based on preference.
  • Adjust the amount of hoisin sauce depending on how sweet or rich you want the flavor.
  • For a low-carb version, ensure your hoisin sauce is sugar-free or use a low-sugar alternative.
  • Garnishes add crunch and freshness — feel free to customize with what you have on hand.
  • Serve over steamed rice or cauliflower rice for a more filling meal.
