Ingredients:
- 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil

Cooking Instructions
- Step 1: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat vegetable oil. Add garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Step 2: Add pork and cook, breaking up meat into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned in parts and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Step 3: Push pork to the side and pour in sesame oil. Add cabbage, onion, and carrot then stir to combine with meat. Add soy sauce and sriracha. Cook, stirring frequently, until cabbage is tender, 5 to 8 minutes; season with salt.

Recipe Tips
- Use coleslaw mix. This recipe doesn’t ask much of your time, but if you want to speed things up and save yourself some knifework, you can absolutely swap store-bought coleslaw mix for the sliced cabbage and carrot.
- Switch up the toppings. Feel free to get creative and make these bowls completely your own. Swap in your protein of choice. Add in more veggies, like sliced celery or mushrooms, drizzle on some duck sauce or sweet chili sauce, add in a scrambled egg, top with some chopped peanuts, or kick up the heat with some chili oil. This is your bowl—make it how you please.
