Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 1 pound lean ground beef 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 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 browned.
- Drain off any excess grease and add the garlic, sautéing just until fragrant (30-60 seconds).
- Add in the coleslaw mix (or finely sliced cabbage) and toss to combine with the ground beef and garlic.
- Pour in the soy sauce and stir well to coat the cabbage and ground beef.
- Add the hot sauce, ground ginger, onion powder, and cloves (if using). Stir well.
- Add a lid to the skillet and cook until the cabbage is soft, about 2-5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and finish with toasted sesame oil. Toss to combine.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve in bowls topped with green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
- Coleslaw mix vs. cabbage: You can use pre-shredded coleslaw mix or fresh finely sliced cabbage.
- Meat options: Ground turkey or chicken can be substituted for beef with added oil for browning.
