Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 1 pound (454 grams) ground pork
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
Vegetables:
- 4 cups coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage & carrots)
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 green onions, sliced
Seasonings and Oils:
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Warm a spacious skillet with sesame oil over medium-high temperature, creating a aromatic base for the stir fry.
- Introduce ground pork to the heated pan, methodically crumbling and browning the meat until completely cooked through and no pink remains.
- Incorporate finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and freshly grated ginger, sautéing the aromatics until they release their vibrant fragrance and become translucent.
- Gently fold in crisp coleslaw mix, allowing the vegetables to mingle with the seasoned meat. Splash in soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sprinkle red pepper flakes to enhance the flavor profile.
- Continue cooking for 3-4 minutes, stirring consistently, until the cabbage wilts slightly but maintains a delightful crunch and the liquid reduces.
- Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish, generously garnishing with thinly sliced green onions and a delicate sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds for added texture and visual appeal.
- Serve immediately while the stir fry remains piping hot, capturing the perfect blend of savory and tangy flavors.
Notes
- Swap ground pork with ground chicken, turkey, or tofu for a lighter protein option that keeps the dish versatile and diet-friendly.
- Toast sesame seeds beforehand to enhance their nutty flavor and add a delightful crunch to the final presentation.
- Keep coleslaw mix crunchy by not overcooking; aim for a slight bite to maintain texture and prevent soggy vegetables.
- Adjust red pepper flakes according to personal spice tolerance, allowing everyone to customize the heat level without compromising the dish’s core flavors.
