Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 4 cups coleslaw mix
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 pound of ground beef, 4 cups of coleslaw mix, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, 2 green onions (sliced), and 1 tablespoon of minced ginger.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the beef is browned and cooked through.
- Once the beef is browned, drain any excess fat if necessary. Then, add the minced ginger to the skillet and stir for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Next, add the coleslaw mix to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the beef and ginger. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the coleslaw is tender but still crisp.
- Pour in the soy sauce and rice vinegar, stirring to evenly coat the mixture. Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Finally, remove the skillet from heat and stir in the sliced green onions for a fresh crunch.
- Serve the crack slaw hot, either on its own or with your choice of low-carb side dishes. Enjoy your meal!
Tips
- Customize Your Protein: While ground beef is delicious, feel free to swap it out for ground turkey, chicken, or even tofu for a vegetarian option.
- Add More Veggies: To boost the nutritional value, consider adding bell peppers, zucchini, or mushrooms to the mix. Just sauté them alongside the beef for a few extra minutes.
- Adjust the Seasoning: If you like a bit of heat, add some crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce when you mix in the soy sauce.
- Make It Ahead: This dish is perfect for meal prep! Cook a larger batch and store it in the fridge for quick lunches or dinners throughout the week.
- Serve with a Twist: Try serving the crack slaw in lettuce wraps for a fun, low-carb twist that adds an extra crunch.
- Garnish for Flavor: Don’t skip the green onions! They add a fresh flavor that brightens the dish. You could also sprinkle some sesame seeds on top for added texture.Enjoy your cooking adventure with this delightful recipe!
