Main Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 lb. ground pork (can substitute with ground chicken, ground beef, or ground turkey)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 8 oz water chestnuts, chopped
- 1 Tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 Tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 Tablespoon sriracha
- 1 (16 ounce) bag coleslaw mix
- 1/2 cup grated or matchstick carrots
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Garnish
- Black sesame seeds
- 4 green onions, thinly sliced
Sriracha Mayo
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1–2 Tablespoons sriracha
Instructions
- Sauté the Aromatics: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
- Cook the Meat: Add the ground pork (or your choice of meat) to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until the meat is browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess liquid if needed.
- Add Garlic, Ginger, and Water Chestnuts: Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped water chestnuts. Cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
- Add Sauces: Pour in the rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and sriracha. Mix everything thoroughly to coat the meat and vegetables.
- Cook the Vegetables: Add the coleslaw mix and shredded carrots. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is wilted and the vegetables are tender.
- Finish and Garnish: Remove from heat and taste to adjust seasoning if needed. Top with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of black sesame seeds. Drizzle with sriracha mayo before serving if desired.
- Prepare Sriracha Mayo: In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with 1-2 tablespoons of sriracha sauce, adjusting the heat to your preference. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Notes
- You can use any ground meat such as chicken, beef, or turkey in place of ground pork.
- Feel free to add more vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms for extra nutrition.
- For a lower sodium variation, consider using low-sodium soy sauce.
- If you prefer a spicier dish, increase the amount of sriracha in both the main bowl and the mayo.
- Leftovers keep well and can be reheated for meal prep.
