Ingredients
Please refer to the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post for the exact measurements.
- ground pork - though you can also substitute ground beef, ground chicken or ground turkey.
- cabbage slaw, green onions, garlic, fresh ginger - this bowl is filled with fresh ingredients and loads of crunch. Grab a bag of coleslaw mix with shredded carrots and purple cabbage, giving it even more flavor and pretty color. Broccoli Slaw would be a yummy substitute! Of course you can also shred a small head of cabbage mixed with red cabbage as well.
- soy sauce and toasted sesame oil - to season the dish. I prefer low sodium soy sauce but use what you prefer.
- vegetable or corn oil - for sautéing.

FAQ's
In my opinion, this dish doesn't freeze well. It's best to eat it while it's fresh. Good news - it keeps in the refrigerator up to three days, so there's plenty of time to enjoy this meal.
We enjoyed it in a bowl, just as shown in the photos. I've also topped it with a poached egg. A zip of sriracha adds a good punch of heat. If you want to stretch the meal a little further, add it to steamed rice. Delicious!
This is a great low carb version and would be a great choice if you're concerned about your carbs.

Variations
- add mushrooms, bok choy, bamboo shoots, or julienned bell peppers, if you're looking to bump up the veggies.
