Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Aromatics

  • 1 pound lean ground beef or turkey
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic (1–2 cloves)

Vegetables

  • 14–16 ounces coleslaw mix or 6 cups finely sliced cabbage
  • 3 green onions, sliced

Seasonings and Sauces

  • ⅓ cup low sodium soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • Pinch of ground cloves (optional)
  • 1 ½ tablespoons sesame oil
  • Sesame seeds for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat Skillet: Heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat to prepare for cooking the ground meat.
  2. Cook Meat: Add the ground beef (or turkey) to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook it until browned and fully cooked through.
  3. Drain Excess Grease: Remove excess grease from the skillet to keep the dish from becoming too oily.
  4. Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté just until fragrant, approximately 30-60 seconds, being careful not to burn it.
  5. Add Cabbage: Stir in the coleslaw mix or finely sliced cabbage, tossing to combine well with the meat and garlic.
  6. Add Soy Sauce: Pour the soy sauce or tamari over the mixture and stir thoroughly to coat the cabbage and meat evenly.
  7. Season: Add the hot sauce, ground ginger, onion powder, and optional ground cloves. Stir everything together until well combined.
  8. Finish with Sesame Oil and Green Onions: Drizzle the sesame oil over the dish, stir to incorporate, and then remove from heat. Sprinkle sliced green onions and sesame seeds on top if desired before serving.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, use tamari or a gluten-free soy sauce alternative.
  • You can substitute ground turkey for a leaner protein option.
  • Add more hot sauce if you prefer spicier flavors.
  • Serve with steamed rice or cauliflower rice for a complete meal.
  • Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days.
  • Sesame seeds add a nice crunch and visual appeal but are optional.
