Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Protein
- Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the ground beef or chicken and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 2: Sauté Aromatics

- Add garlic and ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Step 3: Stir-Fry the Veggies
- Add the coleslaw mix and red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the veggies are tender but still slightly crisp.
Step 4: Combine and Flavor
- Return the cooked ground meat to the skillet.
- Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sriracha (if using). Stir everything together and cook for 2-3 minutes to combine flavors. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
- Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
- Don’t Overcook Veggies: Keep them slightly crisp for a better texture.
- Adjust the Heat: Add more or less sriracha depending on your spice tolerance.
- Make It Vegetarian: Swap the meat for crumbled tofu or plant-based ground meat.
