Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

Alright, here’s the grocery list, and trust me, you’ll want to grab everything on it. You need:

– 1 pound of ground beef (or turkey if you’re feeling fancy)
– Garlic (1-2 cloves, minced, because yum)
– A big ol’ bag of coleslaw mix —or just grab a head of cabbage and chop it if you wanna be all rustic about it (I’m not judging)
– Low sodium soy sauce, about 1/3 cup (or tamari if you’re gluten-free)
– Hot sauce (I like it spicy, but you do you)
– Ground ginger, onion powder, maybe a pinch of cloves (if you’re feeling adventurous)
– Sesame oil (trust me, this stuff makes it *chef’s kiss*)
– Green onions for a pop of color (slice ‘em up!)
– And sesame seeds for that little extra crunch (optional, but like, why not?)

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

Okay, story time. So, the other night, I was binge-watching some show (not even gonna say which one—definitely not a guilty pleasure or anything 🙈). I didn’t wanna order takeout, but I also didn’t wanna spend an hour in the kitchen. Then I remembered this recipe! It’s literally ready in 20 minutes, and I had everything on hand. I felt like a superhero whipping this up, and when I took that first bite? OMG, it was like the universe just hugged me.

Another beautiful angle of the dish — *Just as gorgeous from this angle too!*

The One Trick That Changes Everything

So, here’s the deal. The one trick that absolutely changes the game is the sesame oil at the end. You’ll be tempted to just throw it in while cooking, but wait! Adding it after you turn off the heat? That’s where the magic happens. It gives this lovely toasted flavor that’s just drool-worthy.

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

– Don’t burn the garlic—like, seriously, it can go from “yummy” to “ugh” in seconds. Just sauté it until fragrant, maybe 30-60 seconds tops.
– If you don’t have a lid for your skillet, just add a splash of water when you toss in the cabbage. It helps it steam and gets all soft and delicious without getting stuck.
– Taste as you go! Everyone’s palate is different, right? Adjust the soy sauce, hot sauce, or whatever until it’s perfect for you.

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

So, if you somehow have leftovers (which, let’s be real, is a huge if), just pop them in an airtight container in the fridge. They should be good for about 3 days. Just reheat them on the stove or in the microwave, and they’ll be almost as good as fresh!

If You Liked This, You’ll Probably Like These Too
