Scale
Skillet Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 6 green onions, sliced (white and green parts separated)
- ½ cup diced red onion (optional)
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 (8-ounce) can water chestnuts, chopped (optional)
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (or hot sauce)
- 1 (14-ounce) bag coleslaw mix
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- ⅛–¼ teaspoon freshly cracked white or black pepper
- Salt, to taste
Creamy Chili Sauce
- ¼ cup mayonnaise (store-bought or homemade)
- 1–2 tablespoons sriracha (or hot sauce)
- 1 large pinch salt
Garnish
- Sliced green parts of green onions (reserved)
- Black sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the Skillet: Place a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of sesame oil. Swirl the oil to coat the surface and heat until hot and shimmery.
- Sauté Aromatics: Add the white parts of the green onions, diced red onion if using, and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir frequently and cook until the onions start to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Cook the Pork: Add the ground pork, grated fresh ginger, chopped water chestnuts if using, and 1 tablespoon of sriracha to the skillet. Stir often, breaking up the pork with a spatula, cooking until browned and cooked through, about 7 to 10 minutes.
- Add Coleslaw and Seasonings: Stir in the coleslaw mix, coconut aminos, rice wine vinegar, cracked pepper, and salt. Mix thoroughly to combine all flavors.
- Cook Until Tender: Continue cooking the mixture, stirring regularly, until the cabbage is tender and slightly wilted, approximately 5 more minutes.
- Prepare Creamy Chili Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, 1 to 2 tablespoons sriracha, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until completely incorporated and set aside.
- Serve: Divide the egg roll mixture evenly into four serving bowls.
- Drizzle Sauce: Transfer the creamy chili sauce into a sandwich bag, snip off one corner, and drizzle the sauce over each bowl.
- Garnish: Sprinkle the reserved green parts of the green onions and optional black sesame seeds on top of each bowl.
- Enjoy Immediately: Serve right away for the best flavor and texture.
