Equipment

Ingredients

  • ½ pound ground chicken lean
  • ½ pound ground pork as lean as you can find
  • 1 red onion, small-medium diced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger grated
  • ½ cup carrots grated; buy them pre-shredded to save time or grate them yourself to save money
  • 5-6 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup baby bella mushrooms finely diced, optional
  • 1 16-oz. bag coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ½-1 teaspoon Sriracha optional
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • green onions chopped; for garnish
  • Asian condiment of your choice for drizzling I recommend Gochujang and Japanese BBQ

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, heat 1-2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. When hot, crumble the meat into the pan and cook with the onions, garlic, and ginger. When the meat is about halfway cooked, add the carrots, and mushrooms (if using) and cook until the meat is cooked through and the onions are translucent and fragrant.
  • While the meat is cooking, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, and Sriracha (if using). Set aside.
  • Add the cabbage a couple handfuls at a time, stirring it as it wilts. When the cabbage is cooked, drizzle the soy sauce mixture over the meat mixture and stir to combine and heat through. Serve alone or over brown rice.
