Description
A quick, low-carb, high-fat meal that mimics traditional egg roll filling using ground pork and cabbage.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and chopped
- 1 (14 ounce) bag coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
- 1/4 cup coconut aminos or tamari
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (ensure it is sugar-free)
- 1 teaspoon sriracha or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 green onions, sliced for garnish
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the ground pork to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain off excess grease if necessary.
- Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated fresh ginger to the skillet. Cook until the onion softens, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped water chestnuts and the coleslaw mix. Cook, stirring often, until the cabbage wilts down, about 5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, rice vinegar, sriracha, and ground ginger.
- Pour the sauce mixture over the pork and vegetable mixture. Stir well to coat everything. Cook for 2 more minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
- Divide the mixture into bowls. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier sauce, increase the amount of sriracha or add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic.
- If you prefer a richer flavor, substitute half of the sesame oil with avocado oil.
- You can substitute ground pork with ground chicken or ground turkey.
- For meal prepping, store the cooked mixture separately from the fresh garnishes.
