How to Make It
Step 1: Start with Aromatics
In a non-stick pan, heat sesame oil over medium. Once shimmering, add chopped onion, minced garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. This blend sets the aromatic foundation for your dish.
Step 2: Cook the Pork
Add ground pork to the pan, using a wooden spoon to break it apart. Cook for 4-5 minutes until there’s no pink left, ensuring even cooking across all the meat.
Step 3: Combine and Add Vegetables
Slide the pork to one side. Introduce the coleslaw mix, allowing it to heat through, then stir everything together. This ensures even distribution of heat and flavors.
Step 4: Finish with Sauces
Pour soy sauce and chili sauce over the mixture. Stir well and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables achieve your desired tenderness and absorb the sauces well.
Step 5: Serve Warm
Remove from heat and transfer to serving bowls, highlighting the dish’s attractiveness and ready-to-eat appeal.
