Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef pork, or turkey
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic 1-2 cloves
  • 14-16 ounces coleslaw mix or 6 cups finely sliced cabbage
  • cup low sodium soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • pinch ground cloves (optional)
  • 1 ½ tablespoons sesame oil
  • 3 green onions sliced
  • sesame seeds for serving (optional)

Instructions

  • Heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, and cook until it is browned.
  • Drain off any excess grease and add the garlic, sauteing just until fragrant (30-60 seconds).
  • Add in the coleslaw mix (or 6 cups of finely sliced cabbage) and toss it to combine with the ground beef and garlic.
  • Pour in the soy sauce and stir well to coat the cabbage and ground beef.
  • Add in the hot sauce, ground ginger, onion powder, and cloves (if using). Stir well.
  • Add a lid to the skillet (if you don’t have one, that’s fine - you just may need to add ¼ -⅓ cup water to prevent the cabbage from sticking) and cook until the coleslaw mix is soft, about 2-5 minutes.
  • Once the cabbage is cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from the heat and finish it with 1 ½ tablespoons of toasted sesame oil. Toss well to combine.
  • Taste and adjust salt, pepper, and seasonings to your liking.
  • Serve in bowls topped with sliced green onions and sesame seeds (optional).

Notes

Cole slaw mix vs. cabbage: You can use a pre-shredded coleslaw mix from the store to make this recipe, OR fresh finely sliced cabbage. If using fresh cabbage, you’ll want to use about 6 cups.
Meat options: Lean ground beef is one of the most popular ground meats in the grocery store, but you could use ground pork, ground turkey, or ground chicken. If using ground chicken or turkey, first add 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Lean meats need some additional fat in order to brown properly.
