Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground pork (or ground beef or ground turkey)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) bag coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha or chili garlic sauce (optional, for heat)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the ground pork to the skillet. Break the meat apart with a spoon and cook until browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the coleslaw mix. Stir and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until the cabbage begins to wilt but still retains some crunch.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sriracha (if using), and black pepper to create the sauce.
  6. Pour the sauce over the meat and vegetable mixture. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through, about 1 minute.
  7. Remove the skillet from the heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  8. Serve immediately, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. This is a great high protein lunch idea for meal prep.

Notes

  • For a Whole30 Egg Roll Bowl, substitute the soy sauce with coconut aminos.
  • If you prefer a richer flavor, use ground pork. For a leaner option, choose ground turkey.
  • This recipe works well for quick meal prep bowls; store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
