Step by step

Tap a step to cross it off

  1. Searing Ground Pork with Aromatics

    Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb ground pork, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tsp minced fresh ginger. Cook for 4 minutes, breaking pork into crumbles.

    Why

    Cooking ginger and garlic directly in the rendered pork fat releases deep umami aromas.

  2. Cabbage Slaw Dump

    Add one 14-oz bag of pre-shredded coleslaw mix directly into the skillet with the browned pork.

    Why

    Using pre-shredded coleslaw mix saves 10 minutes of knife prep with zero cleanup.

  3. Quick Sauce & Stir-Fry

    4 min

    Pour 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil, 1 tsp rice vinegar, and 1 tsp sriracha over the cabbage. Toss vigorously for 3 to 4 minutes.

    Why

    Cook until cabbage wilts slightly but maintains an audible crisp bite.

  4. Garnish & Plate

    Remove from heat. Top with 3 sliced green onions, 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds, and an optional drizzle of spicy sriracha mayo.

    Why

    Serve over white rice or eat straight from the bowl for a low-carb powerhouse meal.
