  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce (60 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar (30 ml)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, sriracha, and cornstarch slurry. Set aside.
  2. Brown the Pork: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add ground pork and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain any excess grease.
  3. Sauté Aromatics: Add onion, garlic, and ginger to the skillet with the pork. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until fragrant.
  4. Add Veggies: Add coleslaw mix and shredded carrots to the skillet. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until vegetables are slightly softened.
  5. Combine and Simmer: Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture in the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat. Stir in green onions. Garnish with sesame seeds and crushed red pepper flakes, if desired. Serve immediately.
