What you need

  • 1 pound ground pork
  • a little olive oil (just a tablespoon to cook the onions)
  • 1/2 onion
  • 12 ounce bag of Asian slaw or bagged cabbage and carrot coleslaw mix. I get my Asian Slaw at Wegman’s and it’s a mix of napa cabbage, carrots and celery.
  • coconut aminos – my favorite substitute for soy sauce. I use Trader Joes, Thrive Market and Coconut Secret.
  • sesame Oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly minced ginger
  • minced garlic
  • green onion
  • Chinese Five Spice Powder – my secret ingredient in this recipe which really enhances the flavor! Don’t skip this! I use the Asian Gourmet brand.
  • salt and pepper

You could also shred your own cabbage if you prefer with mostly shredded cabbage then add in a little shredded carrot and a rib of chopped celery. I find it easier just to grab a bag already shredded at the grocery store and it saves a little prep time in the kitchen too! If you can’t find an Asian Slaw mix like I can at Wegman’s and don’t want to shred your own you can use a bag of coleslaw mix with shredded napa cabbage and carrots and then just chop up a rib of celery.

I’m certain you will love this as much as I do! This also makes for a yummy lunch too. You can even make it ahead of time and then just reheat it when you’re ready to eat!
