Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp Avocado Oil
  • 1 lb Ground Pork
  • 1 medium Yellow Onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 inch Ginger, grated
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Aminos
  • 1 tbsp Rice Vinegar
  • 1 tsp Toasted Sesame Oil
  • 1-2 tbsp Sriracha or Chili Garlic Sauce, to taste
  • 2 Green Onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp Sesame Seeds, for garnish

Equipment

  • Large skillet or Dutch oven
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Small bowl
  • Whisk
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Heat avocado oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add the chopped yellow onion to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it begins to soften. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
  3. While the aromatics cook, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, and sriracha.
  4. Add about three-quarters of the coleslaw mix to the skillet with the pork. Stir to combine and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is wilted and tender.
  5. Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture in the skillet. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
  6. Add the remaining one-quarter of the coleslaw mix to the skillet. Stir and cook for just 1-2 minutes more to heat it through while keeping it crisp-tender for texture.
  7. Remove from heat. Serve the egg roll in a bowl immediately, garnished with freshly sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

Notes

For best results, use a large pan to avoid overcrowding, which can steam the ingredients instead of browning them. If the dish seems watery from the cabbage, increase the heat for the last few minutes to let the excess liquid evaporate. For variations, you can substitute ground chicken or turkey for pork. To boost umami, add 1 teaspoon of fish sauce with the coconut aminos or sauté 8 ounces of chopped mushrooms with the onion. Serve over cauliflower rice to keep it Whole30, or with jasmine rice. It's also delicious served in crisp lettuce cups.
