It's a flavorful, low-carb skillet meal that can be easily customized to taste and protein choice.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef or chicken or turkey, lean
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 6-7 cups coleslaw mix
- 1-2 tablespoons sriracha
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons white vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon white sugar or splenda for low carb
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds toasted
- 2-3 tablespoons green onion chopped
Instructions
- In a large skillet, fry the ground beef until cooked and no longer pink. Drain and return to the stove.

- Add in the coleslaw mix. Drizzle with sriracha, vinegar, soy sauce and sprinkle with the sugar, salt and pepper. Fry for another 5 minutes until the cabbage is wilted to your liking.

Notes
- The spiciness can be increased by adding extra sriracha to the dish.
- Ground chicken or turkey can replace beef for a lighter protein option.
