Main
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1 tbsp cooking oil (we use light sesame oil)
- 1 small onion, finely diced (about 1/2 cup)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced (2 tsp)
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 package (14 ounces) coleslaw mix, or 6 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 – 8oz can diced water chestnuts
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 1/8 tsp pepper
Optional Garnishes
- 1/4 cup green onions
- Toasted sesame seeds
- Toasted sesame oil, sprinkled
Spicy Mayo
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1–2 tbsp sriracha (depending on how much spice you like!)
- Juice of 1/2 lemon, optional
- 1/8 tsp salt or to taste, optional
Instructions
- Prep the produce: Dice the onion, grate the ginger, mince the garlic, and shred the carrots and cabbage (unless you’ve bought pre-shredded).
- Cook the pork: Heat the light sesame oil or cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the diced onion and ground pork. Cook, stirring frequently, until the pork is browned and the onion is soft, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add garlic and ginger: Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the veggies: Add the coleslaw mix (or shredded cabbage), shredded carrots, and water chestnuts. Stir well to combine with the meat mixture. Cook until the cabbage is tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add seasoning: Pour in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, and pepper. Stir everything together and let it cook for another 2 minutes. Taste and adjust with salt and pepper if you’d like.
- Make the sriracha sauce: While the skillet is simmering, mix together the mayo and sriracha in a small bowl. Add optional lemon juice and salt.
- Garnish and serve: Remove the skillet from heat and top with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Sprinkle with a bit more toasted sesame oil and drizzle with the sriracha sauce.
