Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 2 large eggs
- 1 (14-ounce) bag coleslaw mix
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 1 teaspoon sesame seed oil
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the oil: Heat the avocado oil in a large deep skillet or wok over medium-high heat to prepare for cooking the beef and aromatics.
- Cook beef and onion: Add the ground beef and diced onion to the skillet. Cook, breaking up the beef with a wooden spoon, for 5 to 6 minutes or until the beef is browned and fully cooked.
- Add garlic and ginger: Stir in the minced garlic and grated fresh ginger. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring often, until the mixture is fragrant.
- Scramble eggs: Push the beef mixture to one side of the skillet. Crack the eggs into the empty side and scramble them gently until just set, then stir them into the beef mixture.
- Add coleslaw mix and sauce: Add the coleslaw mix, low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha, and sesame seed oil. Stir well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Cook cabbage: Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage softens but retains a slight crunch.
- Finish and garnish: Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the sliced green onions and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top before serving.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef to reduce excess fat and keep the dish healthier.
- Adjust the amount of sriracha according to your spice preference.
- For a lower sodium option, use reduced-sodium soy sauce and limit the amount added.
- This recipe works well with ground turkey or chicken as a substitute for beef.
- For vegetarian variation, substitute tofu and use vegetarian soy sauce.
- Serve hot and enjoy immediately for the best texture, especially to keep the cabbage slightly crunchy.
