Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb (454 g) ground pork sausage
  • 16 oz (454 g) package ready-mix coleslaw
  • 0.5 cup (75 g / 2.65 oz) chopped red onion
  • 3 tbsp (45 ml) soy sauce, or tamari for gluten-free
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) minced garlic
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) sesame oil
  • 0.75 tsp (3.8 ml) ground ginger
  • 1 green onion, thinly sliced, for garnish
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • For a spicy kick, add a teaspoon of sriracha or a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the garlic and ginger.
  • This recipe is fantastic with ground chicken, turkey, or beef. Adjust cooking time as needed to ensure it's cooked through.

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. Brown the Pork & Onion: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the ground pork sausage and chopped red onion.
  4. Cook for 8-10 minutes, breaking the pork apart with a spoon, until it's browned and cooked through.
  5. Drain and Season: Carefully drain off any excess grease from the skillet.
  6. Stir in the rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and ground ginger, coating the pork evenly.
  7. Wilt the Slaw: Add the entire bag of coleslaw mix to the skillet.
  8. Stir constantly for 5-7 minutes, allowing the cabbage and carrots to wilt and reduce in size.
  9. Steam to Perfection: Pour in the soy sauce or tamari and stir to combine.
  10. Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and let it steam for 3-5 minutes, or until the slaw reaches your preferred tenderness.
  11. Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from the heat.
  12. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  13. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh, thinly sliced green onions.
  14. Add extra crunch and flavor by topping the finished dish with toasted sesame seeds or crispy wonton strips just before serving.
