- 1 medium white onion diced (about 1 cup)
- 1 pound ground beef
- 3-4 cloves of garlic minced (or 1 tablespoon garlic paste)
- 1-2 tablespoons ginger paste or finely minced ginger, divided
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 14 oz. bag of tri-color coleslaw
- 4 tablespoons light soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or mirin
- 1 teaspoon chili sesame oil optional
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha optional
- 2-3 green onions sliced for garnish
Instructions
- In a large skillet, sauté the onion in cooking oil over medium heat until soft and translucent.
- Add the ground beef, garlic, ginger, salt and pepper and continue cooking, stirring regularly, until the meat is cooked through and no pink remains.
- Add the coleslaw and stir into the beef mixture, cooking several more minutes until the cabbage has wilted.
- In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili sesame oil, sesame oil, and Sriracha. Add a additional tablespoon of ginger paste, if desired.
- Pour soy sauce mixture over the cooked crack slaw and toss to combine.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot.
Notes
- Minced garlic or fresh minced ginger can be used. However, the pastes infuse flavor through the entire dish and they are convenient.
- Crack slaw has a medium spice level. If desired, omit or reduce the chili sesame oil and sriracha. You can also reduce the ginger if needed.
- Do not cook the onions in sesame oil due to the strong unique flavor. It can be over powering. Sesame oil is best as a finishing oil.
