Equipment

Heavy-Bottomed Skillet

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
⅓ cup low sodium soy sauce or gluten-free 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.
1 pound lean ground beef
Drain off any excess grease and add the garlic, sauteing just until fragrant (30-60 seconds).
1 teaspoon minced garlic
Add in the coleslaw mix (or 6 cups of finely sliced cabbage) and toss it to combine with the ground beef and garlic.
14-16 ounces coleslaw mix
Pour in the soy sauce and stir well to coat the cabbage and ground beef.
⅓ cup low sodium soy sauce
Add in the hot sauce, ground ginger, onion powder, and cloves (if using). Stir well.
1 teaspoon hot sauce, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon onion powder, pinch ground cloves
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.
1 ½ tablespoons sesame oil
Taste and adjust salt, pepper, and seasonings to your liking.
Serve in bowls topped with sliced green onions and sesame seeds (optional).
3 green onions, sesame seeds

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.
