Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound ground pork (can substitute with ground chicken, beef, or turkey)
Vegetables:
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 bag (16 ounces) coleslaw mix
- 1/2 cup carrots, grated or cut into matchsticks
- 8 ounces water chestnuts, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
Seasonings and Sauces:
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Garnish:
- Black sesame seeds
- 4 green onions, thinly sliced
Sriracha Mayo:
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1–2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Warm sesame oil for 30 seconds, then sauté diced onions until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add ground pork, breaking it apart while cooking. Stir until meat is completely browned and no longer pink, approximately 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Introduce minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped water chestnuts. Quickly stir and cook for 30 seconds to release aromatic flavors without burning.
- Pour rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and sriracha into the skillet. Mix thoroughly with meat mixture and simmer for one minute to allow flavor absorption.
- Fold in coleslaw mix and shredded carrots. Season with salt and pepper. Cook 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are slightly wilted but retain crispness.
- Simultaneously prepare sriracha mayo by whisking mayonnaise and sriracha in a small bowl. Adjust spice level to taste.
- Remove skillet from heat and taste for seasoning. Adjust with additional salt, pepper, or soy sauce if necessary.
- Plate in serving bowls, garnish with black sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Drizzle sriracha mayo on top or serve alongside for individual preference.
Notes
- Meat Flexibility Choose ground chicken, turkey, or beef as delicious alternatives to pork, ensuring the dish remains versatile for different protein preferences.
- Vegetarian Transformation Replace meat with crumbled extra-firm tofu or plant-based ground meat substitute, maintaining the recipe’s authentic flavor profile and texture.
- Low-Carb Adaptation Skip hoisin sauce or replace with low-carb sweetener to reduce sugar content, making the dish keto and diabetic-friendly without compromising taste.
- Texture Perfection Avoid overcooking vegetables by keeping them slightly crisp, which preserves nutritional value and mimics the authentic egg roll filling’s signature crunch.
