Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground chicken (or ground turkey, beef, or pork)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and ground pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon roasted red chili paste (or more if you like spice)
- 4 cups coleslaw mix
- 1/4 cup green onions, sliced
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the oil: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat to prepare for cooking the meat.
- Cook the ground meat: Add the ground chicken (or preferred meat) to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper, then cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking up the meat into small pieces as it cooks.
- Add aromatics: Once the meat is browned, stir in the minced garlic and fresh grated ginger. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant to build flavor.
- Mix sauces and chili paste: Pour in the low-sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, and roasted red chili paste. Stir well and let the mixture simmer for a few minutes to meld the flavors together.
- Add vegetables: Toss in the coleslaw mix and sliced green onions. Stir everything together and cook until the coleslaw is just wilted and tender, about 3-4 minutes.
- Finish and garnish: Remove the skillet from heat, then sprinkle sesame seeds over the top before serving for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute ground chicken with ground turkey, beef, or pork based on your preference.
- Adjust the amount of roasted red chili paste to control the spice level.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to keep the dish healthier and reduce salt intake.
- For an even lower-carb option, use shredded cabbage instead of coleslaw mix without dressing.
- This dish pairs well with steamed rice or can be served on its own as a low-carb meal.
