This quick and easy recipe features the familiar flavors of a Chinese takeout eggroll, but without the added grease from deep frying. This is a great low-carb entree on its own, or serve over a grain, like barley or quinoa, or over cauliflower rice.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb lean ground pork or chicken breast
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper (divided use)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp olive oil - divided
  • 1 clove garlic - minced
  • 1  16 oz bag packaged coleslaw mix
  • 2 tbsp lower sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 3 green onions/scallions - sliced to 1/4” pieces on an angle for appearance

Preparation:

Season pork/chicken with 1/4 teaspoon pepper and the garlic powder. Sauté meat in a large skillet over medium-high heat using 1 tbsp oil until completely cooked. Drain fat if needed. Remove meat from pan and set aside.

Heat remaining olive oil in pan and add garlic; sauté 30 seconds. Add coleslaw, soy sauce, ginger, hoisin sauce and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook 6 minutes, stirring frequently. Add meat back to pan and top with green onions. Blend and heat 1–2 minutes.
