Ingredients
Scale
Protein and Vegetables
- 1 lb ground turkey or chicken
- ¼ cup yellow onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated or minced
- 1 12-14 oz package coleslaw mix
Seasonings and Garnishes
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce, tamari or coconut aminos
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 1-2 teaspoons sriracha or sambal oelek
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Sriracha, for serving (optional)
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
- Chopped cilantro, for garnish
- Cooked cauliflower rice, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the ground meat: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb ground turkey or chicken and cook until no longer pink, about 6 minutes. Break the meat into smaller pieces using a wooden spoon or spatula and season liberally with salt and pepper.
- Add aromatics and vegetables: Stir in ¼ cup chopped yellow onion, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger, and a 12-14 oz package of coleslaw mix. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender.
- Season the dish: Pour in ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari or coconut aminos), 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil, and 1-2 teaspoons sriracha or sambal oelek. Mix well and cook another minute to combine flavors. Taste and add more soy sauce or sriracha if desired.
- Serve and garnish: Portion the mixture into bowls and top with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and chopped cilantro. Serve with additional sriracha or soy sauce, and optional cooked cauliflower rice on the side.
Notes
- For extra creaminess, try drizzling yum yum sauce over the finished bowl.
- Swap ground turkey with ground pork, beef, tempeh, or tofu for different protein options including vegan variations.
- To increase protein, add an egg by creating a well in the skillet after cooking and scrambling it until done before serving.
- The recipe serves 3 but can be doubled for a family of 4 or leftovers.
