Ingredients

1 lb ground pork see note 1
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon ginger finely grated
3 cloves garlic minced
12 oz slaw 340 g; 1 bag; see note 2
¼ cup liquid soy seasoning see note 3
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon monk fruit sweetener see note 4

Optional garnishes

1 tablespoon sesame seeds
2 tablespoons green onions

Instructions

Prepare the sauce- in a small jar, shake together the liquid soy seasoning, apple cider vinegar, and monk fruit sweetener. Set aside.
Cook pork- In a 12 inch non-stick skillet, cook the ground pork. Use a spatula to break it into small pieces, and stir/flip. Cook it for 7-10 minutes, until no longer pink. If there is a lot of grease in the pan, drain it before proceeding to the next step.
Add garlic + ginger- Make a space in the middle of the pan, and add the sesame oil. Add the garlic and ginger, and let them simmer for 1 minute, until fragrant. Mix them into the pork at this point.
Add slaw mix- Add the bag of slaw mix to the pan, and carefully stir it into the ground pork mixture. Cook for 3 more minutes, stirring frequently. Cabbage should be slightly wilted but not completely soft.
Add sauce- Pour the sauce evenly over the ground pork and cabbage mixture. Carefully stir it up until evenly coated in the sauce. Remove from the heat, and enjoy!
Garnish- Sprinkle with sesame seeds (optional) and green onions and enjoy.

4- if you are not following a low carb diet, you may swap for 2 tablespoons maple syrup, honey, or brown sugar

Storage

Leftovers may be stored in an air tight container for up to 4 days, or frozen for up to 3 months. Note: slaw softens a bit after thawing but is still tasty.
