Ingredients
  

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

4 cups coleslaw mix (a blend of shredded cabbage and carrots)

3 green onions, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced (or ½ teaspoon ginger powder)

3 tablespoons soy sauce (use low sodium if preferred)

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon sriracha (optional, for a spicy kick)

Salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Fresh cilantro leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Heat the Pan: Begin by placing a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the sesame oil and allow it to heat briefly.

    Cook the Meat: Introduce the ground pork (or your preferred meat) into the pan. Season it with salt and freshly cracked pepper. Cook for approximately 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula until it is thoroughly browned and cooked through.

      Add Aromatics: When the meat is nearly done, add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet. Sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring until the mixture is fragrant.

        Mix in the Veggies: Add the coleslaw mix and chopped green onions to the pan. Stir everything together thoroughly and cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the coleslaw to wilt lightly while retaining some crunch.

          Season: Pour in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sriracha (if desired). Toss all the ingredients together well. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.

            Serve: Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and fresh cilantro leaves if you choose. Serve hot to enjoy this nutritious and delightful dish!
