Ingredients
  

1 lb ground pork (or substitute with ground chicken or turkey for a lighter option)

4 cups coleslaw mix (or freshly shredded cabbage and carrots)

3 green onions, thinly sliced

3 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely minced

2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari if you prefer gluten-free)

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon sriracha (adjust according to your spice preference)

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Cook the Meat: In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the ground pork. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally and breaking the meat apart with a spatula until it is browned and fully cooked. If there is excess fat, drain it from the skillet.

    Add Aromatics: To the cooked pork, stir in the minced garlic and fresh ginger. Sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the garlic is fragrant and slightly golden, being careful not to burn it.

      Incorporate Veggies: Add the coleslaw mix to the skillet. Toss everything together thoroughly to ensure that the pork is evenly mixed with the vegetables. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, allowing the cabbage to wilt slightly while still retaining a bit of crunch.

        Flavor it Up: Pour in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sriracha. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly coated with the sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

          Final Touch: Just before serving, gently fold in the sliced green onions to preserve their freshness and crunchiness.

            Serve: Ladle the mixture into bowls and finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds for a delightful crunch and extra flavor.
