Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ cup soy sauce, divided
  • 1 bag (14-16 ounces) prepared coleslaw mix (cabbage and carrot mixture)
  • ¼ cup chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Cook the Beef: Crumble the ground beef into a large skillet and cook over medium heat until fully browned, about 6-8 minutes. Make sure to stir occasionally to break up the meat. Once browned, drain off any excess fat from the skillet.
  2. Add Seasonings: Stir in the ground ginger, garlic powder, and half of the soy sauce (2 tablespoons). Mix well to evenly distribute the flavors throughout the beef.
  3. Incorporate Vegetables: Add the prepared coleslaw mix (cabbage and carrot mixture) to the skillet. Stir thoroughly to combine the veggies with the beef and spices.
  4. Simmer and Softening: Continue cooking the mixture over low to medium heat, stirring frequently. As the coleslaw mix softens, add the remaining soy sauce (2 tablespoons) and stir to fully infuse the flavors.
  5. Finish and Serve: Cook until the coleslaw is tender but still retains some crunch, approximately 3-5 minutes more depending on your preference. Remove from heat, top with chopped green onions, and add extra soy sauce if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef to reduce excess fat and calories.
  • Feel free to substitute soy sauce with tamari for a gluten-free version.
  • You can add a splash of sesame oil for extra depth of flavor.
  • For a vegetarian alternative, replace ground beef with crumbled tofu or tempeh.
  • This dish pairs well with steamed rice or cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
