Ingredients

1 lb ground pork

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1/2 medium onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

1/4 cup soy sauce

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon sriracha

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

5 cups shredded green cabbage or coleslaw mix

2 medium carrots, shredded or julienned

3 green onions, sliced

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Extra green onions or sriracha for garnish

Instructions

1. Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add ground pork and cook until fully browned and slightly crisp, about 5–7 minutes.

2. Push the pork to one side and add onions, garlic, and ginger. Cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.

3. Stir in soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix well.

4. Add shredded cabbage and carrots. Stir to combine. Cook for 4–5 minutes until the cabbage softens slightly.

5. Remove from heat. Add green onions and sesame seeds. Stir and adjust seasoning to taste.

6. Serve hot with extra green onions or sriracha as garnish. Enjoy solo or over rice or cauliflower rice.

Notes

Don’t overcook the cabbage—keep it slightly crisp for the best texture.

Browning the meat adds flavor, so don’t skip that step.

You can freeze portions for up to 2 months for an easy meal later.
