Scale
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
- Brown the ground beef: Crumble the ground beef into a large skillet and cook over medium heat until fully browned. Drain off any excess fat to keep the dish light and flavorful.
- Add spices and initial soy sauce: Stir in the ground ginger, garlic powder, and half of the soy sauce. This will infuse the beef with a wonderful aroma and taste.
- Incorporate coleslaw mix: Add the prepared coleslaw mix to the skillet and stir well to combine with the beef and seasonings.
- Simmer and soften vegetables: Continue cooking the mixture over low to medium heat, stirring often. As the coleslaw mix begins to soften, add the remaining soy sauce to enhance the flavor further.
- Finish and garnish: Cook to your desired doneness, then remove from heat and top with chopped green onions. You can also add additional soy sauce if preferred for extra seasoning.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef to reduce fat content and keep the dish healthier.
