Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 3 tbsp fresh ginger (minced or grated; or use 3/4 tsp ground ginger)
- 1 lb ground pork (or ground beef)
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper (or more if you want it spicy)
- 6 cups shredded coleslaw mix (or cabbage and carrots chopped with a knife)
- 1/4 cup coconut aminos (or 1–2 tablespoons more if you like; you can also use low-sodium soy sauce)
- 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1/4 cup green onions
- sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat the avocado oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add minced garlic and ginger to the skillet.
- Sauté for about one minute, until fragrant.
- Incorporate the ground pork (or beef), seasoning it with sea salt and black pepper, and cook while breaking up the meat. Continue cooking until browned, about 7-10 minutes; you can drain excess oil if preferred.
- Lower the heat to medium.
- Introduce the coleslaw mix and coconut aminos, stirring to combine. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender, while stirring occasionally.
- Take the skillet off the heat, and mix in the toasted sesame oil and sliced green onions. If you like, finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds for garnish.
Notes
For a spicier option, increase the amount of black pepper or add chili flakes.
