An egg roll without the wrapper or the deep fryer. Ground pork and cabbage stir-fried with garlic, ginger and soy give you all the filling's flavor in a fraction of the time, with none of the carbs.

One skillet, fifteen minutes. The coleslaw mix saves you all the shredding.

method

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the ground meat and break it up with a spatula.
Cook until nearly browned, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Add the garlic and ginger and stir for 30 seconds.
Add the coleslaw mix and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes, until slightly wilted.
Pour in the soy sauce and stir to combine.
Cook for another minute, until the cabbage is tender-crisp.
Take the pan off the heat and drizzle with the sesame oil.
Top with the green onions and sriracha, if using.

chef's tips

Keep the heat high and the cabbage moving. You want tender-crisp, not soggy.
Add the sesame oil off the heat. It is a finishing oil and burns quickly.
Pork brings more flavor, turkey keeps it leaner. Both work.
