Quick one-pan skillet featuring seasoned ground meat with crisp cabbage slaw in savory Asian-inspired sauce. Ready in 25 minutes.

# Ingredient List:

→ Protein

01 - 1 pound ground pork, chicken, or turkey

→ Vegetables

02 - 4 cups cabbage slaw mix with shredded cabbage and carrots
03 - 1 small onion, thinly sliced
04 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
05 - 1 inch fresh ginger, grated
06 - 2 green onions, sliced for garnish

→ Sauce

07 - 3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari or coconut aminos for gluten-free
08 - 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
09 - 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
10 - 1 teaspoon sriracha or chili sauce, optional

→ Optional Toppings

11 - 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
12 - Additional sliced green onions
13 - Chili flakes to taste

# Steps:

01 - Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add ground meat and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 5 to 6 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
02 - Add onion, garlic, and ginger to the pan. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant and onion softens.
03 - Stir in the cabbage slaw mix. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring often, until cabbage is wilted but still has a slight crunch.
04 - In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and sriracha if using. Pour sauce into the pan and toss to combine, cooking for 1 to 2 more minutes.
05 - Remove from heat. Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and additional toppings as desired. Serve hot or divide into meal prep containers for later.
