Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 pound ground pork or ground turkey
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 (14 oz) bag coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sriracha (optional)
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
Creamy Chili Sauce
- ¼ cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
- 1 tablespoon sriracha or other chili sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Cook the Meat: Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground pork and cook, breaking it up, until fully browned and cooked through.
- Sauté Aromatics: Add grated ginger, minced garlic, and diced onion to the skillet. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and the onions are softened.
- Add Cabbage and Seasonings: Stir in the coleslaw mix, soy sauce (or coconut aminos), rice vinegar, black pepper, and sriracha if using. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage softens but still retains a little crunch.
- Prepare Creamy Chili Sauce: While the cabbage cooks, whisk together mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), sriracha, rice vinegar, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Adjust the spiciness to taste.
- Serve: Plate the cooked egg roll mixture hot, drizzle generously with the creamy chili sauce, then garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
