  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb. ground meat (ground pork, turkey, chicken, or beef)
  • 1 small sweet onion, diced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • ¼ cup less sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce (or extra 1 tablespoon for sweeter sauce)
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger or 1 ½ tablespoons grated fresh ginger
  • 1 (16 ounce) bag coleslaw mix
  • ½ cup grated or “matchstick” carrots
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste

Optional Garnishes

  • Sliced green onions
  • Chives
  • Fresh cilantro
  • Toasted sesame seeds
  • Chopped peanuts
  • Crunchy chow mein noodles
  • Squeeze of fresh lime juice

Instructions

  1. Cook the Meat: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground meat and cook, stirring frequently, until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease from the skillet and return the meat to the pan.
  2. Cook Onion and Add Flavorings: Add the diced sweet onion, sesame oil, and rice vinegar to the skillet. Stir and cook until the onion becomes tender, approximately 4-5 minutes.
  3. Add Sauce Ingredients: Pour in the soy sauce and hoisin sauce, then add the minced garlic and ginger. Stir to combine all flavors evenly in the skillet.
  4. Add Vegetables: Add the coleslaw mix and grated carrots to the skillet. Cook, stirring often, for about 5-7 minutes or until the cabbage wilts and softens.
  5. Finish and Season: Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the thinly sliced green onions and season the dish with kosher salt and ground black pepper according to your taste.
  6. Serve with Garnishes: Optionally, garnish with sliced green onions, chives, fresh cilantro, toasted sesame seeds, chopped peanuts, crunchy chow mein noodles, or a squeeze of fresh lime juice for extra flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Do not omit the toasted sesame oil as it gives the dish the essential Asian egg roll flavor.
  • Customize this recipe by adding diced celery, sweet bell peppers, snap peas, snow peas, or baby corn for extra veggies.
  • If you prefer a richer, sweeter sauce, add an extra tablespoon or two of hoisin sauce.
