Ingredients
  

1 lb ground pork (or chicken or turkey)

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 cups coleslaw mix (cabbage and carrots)

1 cup shiitake or button mushrooms, sliced

2 green onions, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

2 teaspoons rice vinegar

1 tablespoon Sriracha (optional, for heat)

Salt and pepper to taste

Sesame seeds for garnish

Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Chop the green onions, slice the mushrooms, and mince the garlic and ginger.

    Cook the Pork: In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until it’s browned and no longer pink (about 5-7 minutes).

      Add Aromatics: Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

        Incorporate Vegetables: Add the coleslaw mix and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Stir well and cook for about 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

          Season the Mixture: Pour in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and Sriracha (if using). Stir everything to combine, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until everything is heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

            Add Garnishes: Remove from heat and stir in chopped green onions. Serve hot, garnishing with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro.

              Enjoy: Scoop the delicious egg roll mixture into bowls and serve immediately!
