Steps

You’ll need: large skillet or wok, wooden spoon, instant-read thermometer.

  1. Cook the pork in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up, until no pink remains and it reaches 160°F, about 7 minutes. Spoon off extra fat.
  2. Add the sesame oil, onion, garlic and ginger and cook 2 minutes, until fragrant.
  3. Add the coleslaw mix and carrot. Cook 4 to 5 minutes, tossing, until the cabbage wilts but still has some crunch.
  4. Stir in the soy sauce and vinegar. Top with green onions, and hot sauce for anyone who wants it.

🌡 Safe temperaturesGround pork or pork sausage 160°F. Check the thickest part with a food thermometer (USDA). More on food safety.
