Ingredients: 1 tbsp Avocado oil; 4 cloves Garlic (minced); 3 tbsp Fresh ginger (minced or grated; or use 3/4 tsp ground ginger); 1 lb Ground pork (or ground beef); 1 tsp Sea salt; 1/4 tsp Black pepper (or more if you want it spicy); 6 cups Shredded coleslaw mix (or cabbage and carrots chopped with a knife); 1/4 cup Coconut aminos (or 1-2 tablespoons more if you like; you can also use low-sodium soy sauce); 2 tsp Toasted sesame oil; 1/4 cup Green onions; Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

1 Set a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and pour in the avocado oil. Once heated, add the minced garlic and ginger, then sauté them for about 1 minute, just until their aroma becomes noticeable.

2 Place the ground pork or ground beef in the skillet and sprinkle it with the sea salt and black pepper. Break the meat into small pieces with a spatula, increase the heat to medium-high, and cook for 7-10 minutes, until the meat is browned. Most of the extra oil will cook away at this temperature, though you may drain it if preferred.

3 Turn the heat down to medium, then add the shredded coleslaw mix and coconut aminos. Stir until the vegetables and meat are evenly coated. Continue cooking for about 5 minutes, stirring from time to time, until the cabbage becomes tender.

4 Take the skillet off the heat. Mix in the toasted sesame oil and green onions, making sure they are distributed throughout the dish. Finish with sesame seeds if desired, then serve.
