Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 shallots chopped
  • 4 green onions chopped
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 lbs lean ground meat of choice beef, turkey, chicken or pork work great
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 tsp ginger powder
  • 8- ounce can water chestnuts drained and chopped
  • 2 Tbsp fish sauce
  • 5 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 3 Tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 3 Tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 – 16 oz bags coleslaw

To Serve:

  • Sriracha aioli or hot sauce
  • Cooked jasmine white rice or brown rice
  • Chopped green onions
  • Sesame seeds

Instructions

  • In a large stock pot, melt butter over medium high heat.  Add shallots, green onions and garlic.  Turn heat down to medium and cook for 3-4 minutes to soften.
  • Add ground meat.  Use a spatula or wooden spoon to break up and start to brown.  Add pepper, salt and ginger powder.  Mix to combine.
  • Add water chestnuts through sesame oil.  Mix well.  Cook until meat is mostly cooked, roughly 5-7 minutes.
  • Add coleslaw and turn heat down to low.  Mix well and often.  The heat of the meat mixture will nicely soften the coleslaw.  Cook another 5-7 minutes.  I prefer the coleslaw to have a bit of a bite and not be soggy so I don’t overcook.
  • Plate in large serving platter.  Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds and sriracha aioli or hot sauce.
  • Serve over rice, if desired.
