THE INGREDIENTS:
2 tablespoons sesame oil
6 green onions sliced, green and white parts divided
½ cup red onion diced. Skip for keto.
5 cloves garlic minced
1 pound ground pork
1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
1 8-ounce can water chestnuts chopped. Skip for keto
1 tablespoon sriracha or hot sauce See Note 1
1 14-ounce bag coleslaw mix
3 tablespoons coconut aminos See Note 2 for keto or low carb
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
⅛ – ¼ teaspoon white pepper or black pepper
salt to taste
GARNISH -
black sesame seeds for garnish
green parts of sliced green onions from above
CREAMY CHILI SAUCE-
¼ cup mayonnaise see Note 3
1-2 tablespoons sriracha or hot sauce
salt to taste
THE METHOD:
Heat sesame oil in a large skillet and place over medium heat. Add white parts of green onions, diced red onion, and garlic and saute, stirring frequently, until the red onion begins to soften, about 5 minutes.
Add ground pork, grated ginger, water chestnuts (Skip for keto), and 1 tablespoon sriracha hot sauce or chili-garlic sauce and cook until pork is browned, broken up, and cooked through about 7-10 minutes.
Add coleslaw mix, coconut aminos or soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, white pepper, and salt, to taste, and stir until well combined. Cook, stirring regularly, until cabbage is tender, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl whisk together 1/4 cup mayonnaise and 1-2 tablespoons compliant hot sauce. Add a pinch of salt, to taste. To drizzle, place creamy chili sauce in a small plastic sandwich bag.
To plate: spoon a hearty helping of the pork-cabbage mixture in a serving bowl. Snip off the corner of the sandwich bag with the creamy chili sauce and drizzle over egg roll in a bowl recipe mixture. Garnish with green parts of the green onions and black sesame seeds.
NOTES:
Note 1: If on Whole30, make sure your hot sauce or sriracha is compliant. Make my Whole30 Sriracha super easily or use something like Frank's Red Hot. Frank's Red Hot is also keto-friendly, whereas conventional sriracha is not.
Note 2: If keto or low carb, use Lite Tamari or Bragg's Aminos for the least number of carbs, as shown in the second nutrition label.
Note 3: If Whole30, make sure your mayonnaise is compliant. I have an awesome 30-Second Immersion Blender Mayonnaise recipe that is totally foolproof!
Note 4: If keto, skip red onion to save about 1g net carb per serving.
