Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb (450 g) ground beef (80/20 or 85/15)
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) avocado oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp (6 g / 0.21 oz) fresh ginger, grated
  • 4 cups (400 g / 14.1 oz) shredded coleslaw mix
  • ¼ cup (60 ml / 2 fl oz) coconut aminos (or tamari/low-sodium soy sauce)
  • 2 tsp (10 ml) toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tsp (6 g / 0.21 oz) sea salt
  • ¼ tsp (1 g / 0.04 oz) black pepper
  • ¼ cup (25 g / 0.88 oz) sliced green onions, for garnish
  • For the best texture, don't overcook the cabbage. Keep it slightly crisp-tender for a satisfying crunch that mimics a real egg roll.
  • Swap the protein to fit your preference. Ground pork is a classic choice, but ground turkey or chicken also work beautifully.
  • For easy meal prep, cook the recipe as directed but store the green onions and sesame oil separately. Add them just before serving to keep the flavors fresh and vibrant.

Method
 

  1. Sauté Aromatics: Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for 30-60 seconds until fragrant. Watch closely to prevent burning.
  3. Brown the Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet. Use a spatula to break it apart and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until fully browned.
  4. Drain off any excess grease if desired.
  5. Wilt the Slaw: Reduce the heat to medium.
  6. Add the shredded coleslaw mix and pour in the coconut aminos.
  7. Stir to combine and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the cabbage has softened to your desired tenderness.
  8. Season and Finish: Remove the skillet from the heat.
  9. Season with the sea salt and black pepper, then drizzle with the toasted sesame oil.
  10. Stir everything together until well combined.
  11. Serve and Garnish: Divide into bowls and serve immediately, topped with a generous sprinkle of fresh sliced green onions.
  12. Add a kick of heat with 1-2 teaspoons (10 ml / 0.3 fl oz) of sriracha or a pinch of red pepper flakes mixed in with the coconut aminos.
