Equipment

Large Skillet
Garlic Mincer optional
Wooden Spoon

Ingredients

2 teaspoons Oil
2 Garlic Cloves minced
1 tablespoon Minced Ginger
1 lb Ground Pork
16 ounces Coleslaw Mix
1/4 cup Shredded Carrots
1/4 cup Green Onions plus more for garnish
1/3 cup Soy Sauce
2 tablespoons Sesame Oil
1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar

Instructions

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the minced garlic and minced ginger. Sauté for 1 to 2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant.
Add the ground pork and use a wooden spoon to break it apart into little bits as it browns.
Toss in the coleslaw mix, shredded carrots, and green onions. Sauté until the vegetables become tender, about 5 minutes.
In a small bowl whisk the soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Pour the mixture into the skillet and toss to coat the other ingredients.
Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow the sauce to cook into the mixture. Serve with fresh chopped green onions.

Notes

Turn this recipe into lettuce wraps. Using some Boston Bib lettuce or Romain you can easily fill each leaf with some of the egg roll mixtures and turn it into a wrap. This is also a great idea if you have leftovers.
Add some sauce on top. This will add to the decadence of the recipe, but you can top your bowl with some Yum Yum sauce, Spicy Mayo, Ponzu sauce, or even spice it up with some Sriracha.
Give your bowl a little crunch and serve with some chopped peanuts.
This is a complete meal, but you could easily serve it over or with a side of rice.
