Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 pound ground pork or ground turkey
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and chopped
  • 1 (16 ounce) bag coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha, or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 green onions, sliced, for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the ground meat to the skillet. Break it up with a spoon and cook until browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Add the chopped water chestnuts and the coleslaw mix to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the meat mixture.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey or maple syrup, sriracha, and black pepper to create the sauce.
  7. Pour the sauce over the meat and vegetable mixture. Stir constantly and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until the cabbage wilts slightly and the sauce thickens and coats everything.
  8. Remove the skillet from the heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  9. Divide the egg roll in a bowl mixture among serving bowls. Garnish each serving with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.

Notes

  • For a low carb or keto family dinner, serve this dish over cauliflower rice instead of traditional rice.
  • If you prefer a different protein, ground chicken or lean ground beef work well in this recipe.
  • You can prepare the sauce ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to one week.
