- 4 cups shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix
- 1 cup julienned or shredded carrots
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
Optional Additions
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 large eggs, scrambled
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (optional for heat)
- Toasted sesame seeds for garnish
Substitutions

Instructions
Cook the Protein
- Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add ground turkey (or preferred protein) and cook until browned, about 6–8 minutes. Break it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
Add Aromatics
- Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Incorporate Vegetables
- Add shredded cabbage and carrots to the skillet.
- Pour soy sauce and optional rice vinegar over the mixture. Toss to coat everything evenly.
Steam the Vegetables
- Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat slightly. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften while retaining a slight crunch.
Scramble Eggs (Optional)
- Push the mixture to one side of the skillet. Crack two eggs into the empty side and scramble them until fully cooked. Stir the eggs into the mixture.
Final Touches
- Remove the lid and stir well. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Drizzle with sriracha if desired.
Serve
- Dish into bowls and serve warm. Pair with cauliflower rice, zoodles, or brown rice for a more filling meal.
