Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Ground Pork or Turkey: Ground pork adds a rich flavor, but turkey is a leaner option. If you want to avoid meat altogether, consider using crumbled tofu or a plant-based ground meat alternative, which works really well in this recipe.
Coleslaw Mix: This is the base of your dish, packed with cabbage and carrots. If you can’t find coleslaw mix, you can shred your own cabbage and carrots or even use pre-packaged bagged salad mixes for extra greens and crunch.
Green Onions: These add a zing to the dish. If you don’t have them, regular onions or shallots can work in a pinch, but use them sparingly as they have a stronger flavor.
Soy Sauce: This gives the dish its savory umami kick. Low-sodium soy sauce is a great option if you’re watching your salt intake. For a gluten-free version, tamari is an excellent substitute.
Sriracha Mayo: This adds creaminess and a bit of heat. If you prefer less spiciness, you can mix regular mayo with a bit of hot sauce or use a store-bought spicy mayo substitute.
How Do You Ensure Perfectly Cooked Meat?
Cooking the ground meat properly is key to this dish’s success. Here are steps to follow to avoid any issues:
- Use medium heat to cook the meat; it allows for even cooking without burning.
- Break the pork or turkey into small pieces with your spatula as it cooks. This ensures that every piece gets browned.
- Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until no longer pink. Use a meat thermometer to check that it’s reached 165°F (75°C) if you’re unsure.
By keeping an eye on the heat and breaking up the meat, you’ll achieve that perfectly cooked texture, ready to soak up all those delicious flavors!

Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Cook the Meat:
Start by heating a large skillet or a Blackstone griddle over medium heat. Once hot, add the ground pork or turkey to the skillet. Use a spatula to break it up as it cooks. Allow it to cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until it’s nicely browned and no longer pink.
2. Add Aromatics:
Next, add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant and deliciously aromatic.
3. Incorporate the Vegetables:
Now it’s time to add the coleslaw mix. Stir it into the meat mixture and cook for about 3-4 minutes, until the cabbage has softened and everything is well combined.
4. Mix in the Sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Pour this tasty sauce over the meat and vegetable mixture, stirring well to coat everything evenly. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting if necessary.

Can I Use a Different Type of Meat?
Absolutely! You can substitute ground pork with ground turkey, chicken, or even ground beef if you prefer. Just keep in mind that different meats may alter the flavor slightly, so choose one that suits your taste!
How Can I Make This Vegetarian?
For a vegetarian version, replace the meat with a plant-based protein like crumbled tofu or tempeh. Make sure to sauté it well until it’s browned and crispy for the best texture. You can also add more vegetables or even some mushrooms for extra flavor.
What Should I Do With Leftovers?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm it on the stovetop over medium heat or microwave it until heated through. You might want to add a splash of soy sauce or sesame oil to refresh the flavors!
Can I Make This Dish Spicier?
If you love heat, you can easily amp it up! Consider adding some chopped fresh chili peppers to the dish while cooking, or increase the amount of sriracha mayo drizzled on top. A dash of red pepper flakes can also add an extra kick!
