Step by Step Instructions
Step 1: Grab a large skillet or pot and put it over medium-high heat, then add the ground beef and stir it until it’s fully browned. Use a wooden spoon to break the meat into small pieces while cooking – If there’s a lot of fat, drain some of it, but leave a little in the pan to add flavor.
Step 2: Add the garlic, ginger, and the lower white parts of the green onions, then stir them with the meat for about a minute. You will smell the garlic as soon as it touches the heat, just be careful not to burn it.
Step 3: Put the bags of coleslaw mix right on top. It might look like a lot of cabbage at first, but it will shrink quickly, so don’t worry. Stir it in the pan for about 5 minutes until the cabbage softens but still has a nice crunch.
Step 4: Pour in the soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and sriracha. Stir everything well so all the pieces of meat and vegetables are evenly coated with the sauce.
Step 5: Take the pan off the stove, then sprinkle the green onion tips and sesame seeds on the dish however you like. Serve it hot.
