Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Ground Pork: This is the main source of protein in the dish. Ground turkey is a great leaner substitute. If you’re looking for plant-based options, try using crumbled tempeh or mushrooms to give a similar texture.
Sesame Oil: Sesame oil adds a nutty flavor that ties the dish together. If you’re out of it, you can use grapeseed or avocado oil as a substitute, but it won’t have the same taste. I recommend keeping sesame oil on hand for its unique flavor!
Coleslaw Mix: This mix simplifies prep time. If you can’t find it, a combination of shredded cabbage and carrots works well. You can also add bell peppers or snap peas for extra crunch and color.
Soy Sauce: Look for low-sodium soy sauce if you want to cut down on salt. If you’re gluten-free, tamari is a good alternative. I often use a bit less soy sauce than called for, just to ensure it doesn’t overpower the other flavors.
Sriracha: This adds a kick! If you’re not a fan of spice, consider reducing the amount or using sweet chili sauce for a milder flavor. Personally, I love adding a touch more for an extra zing!
How Do You Keep Your Eggs From Scrambling in the Bowl?
The trick to making sure your filling stays cohesive and doesn’t turn into a scrambled mess lies in the cooking order and technique. Start by heating your oils and cooking your aromatics just until fragrant. Then, brown your meat thoroughly before adding your veggies.
- Keep the heat at medium-high until the meat is fully cooked.
- Avoid stirring too much; let the meat sear a bit before breaking it apart.
- When adding the coleslaw mix, stir gently to combine without overcooking. This keeps the texture nice!

Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Heat the Oils:
Start by pouring the sesame oil and olive oil into a large skillet or wok. Set it on medium-high heat and let the oils warm up. You’ll know it’s ready when it shimmers a bit.
2. Sauté the Onions:
Add the diced onion to the skillet. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onion turns translucent and starts to soften. This will add a lovely flavor to your dish!
3. Add Garlic and Ginger:
Next, stir in the minced garlic and ginger. Cook them for about 1 minute, just until they become fragrant. This is where the amazing aromas begin!

Add the ground pork or turkey to the skillet. Use a spatula to break it up as it cooks, stirring occasionally. Continue cooking until the meat is browned and no longer pink, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
5. Stir in the Coleslaw Mix:
Now, sprinkle in the coleslaw mix. Cook this for another 3-4 minutes until the cabbage wilts down nicely.
6. Add the Sauces:
Pour in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, and if you like a little heat, the sriracha. Mix everything well and let it cook for an additional 2 minutes to blend those fantastic flavors together.
7. Serve It Up:
Remove the skillet from the heat and carefully transfer the mixture into a serving bowl. It’s starting to look delicious already!
8. Top with Cheese:
Drizzle your choice of shredded cheese or cheese sauce on top of the hot mixture, letting it melt a bit for extra creaminess.

Can I Use Different Types of Meat?
Absolutely! Ground turkey is a great substitute if you want a leaner option. You can also use ground chicken or beef, depending on your preference. Just ensure the meat is cooked through before adding other ingredients!
What If I Can’t Find Coleslaw Mix?
No worries! If you can’t find coleslaw mix, you can shred your own cabbage and carrots. About 2 cups of shredded green cabbage and 1 cup of shredded carrots will give you a similar texture and flavor.
How Should I Store Leftovers?

Can I Make This Dish Vegetarian?
Yes, you can! Replace the meat with crumbled tofu or tempeh for a plant-based option. You may want to increase the seasonings slightly to enhance the flavors, and make sure to sauté the tofu until it’s nicely browned!
