Main Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1/2 small onion, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (14-ounce) bag coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage
- 3–4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
Garnish (Optional)
- 1 tablespoon green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Heat the oil: Place a large pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, warming it until shimmering.
- Cook the pork: Add 1 pound of ground pork to the pan and cook it, breaking it apart with a spatula, until no longer pink, about 6-7 minutes.
- Add aromatics: Stir in the thinly sliced half onion and minced garlic cloves, cooking for an extra 2-3 minutes until fragrant and tender.

- Flavor the dish: Drizzle in 3-4 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil, and 1/2 teaspoon sugar. Stir well and cook another 1-2 minutes to blend the flavors thoroughly.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve hot. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired for added color and fresh flavor.
