Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef or substitute with ground pork, turkey, or chicken
- 3 cups coleslaw mix
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1/2 small onion diced
- 2 green onions sliced (for garnish)
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes optional for heat
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 2 tbsp soy sauce low sodium preferred
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp vegetable or avocado oil
Instructions
- Cook the Meat: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned and no longer pink, about 6–8 minutes. Don’t break it up too fine—leave some juicy chunks for better texture.
- Add Aromatics: Stir in the minced garlic, ground ginger, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes. Sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
- Sauté the Veggies: Toss in the diced onion, coleslaw mix, and shredded carrots. Cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Don’t overcook—you want that crunch!
- Finish with Sauce: Pour in soy sauce and sesame oil. Stir to combine, letting the flavors soak in for another minute. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Garnish and Serve: Top with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot straight from the skillet or spoon into bowls for a satisfying, deconstructed egg roll experience.
Notes
- Keep your pan a bit cooler to not burn the garlic. You can always turn it up higher if needed, but burnt garlic will add a sour flavor to your recipe.
- Check your supermarket for pre-shredded carrots to save yourself some time.
- You can bring out the flavor of the spices by rubbing them together in your palms before adding them to the pan. You can also use a mortar and pestle.
