Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons Sesame Oil
  • 6 Green Onions whites and greens separated
  • 1/2 cup Diced Red Onion optional
  • 5 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1.5 lbs Ground Pork
  • 1 teaspoon Grated Fresh Ginger
  • 1 can 8 oz Water Chestnuts, chopped (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha
  • 1 bag 14 oz Coleslaw Mix
  • 3 tablespoons Soy Sauce or coconut aminos
  • 1 tablespoon Rice Wine Vinegar
  • 1 cup Shelled Edamame
  • 1/8 teaspoon Freshly Cracked White Pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • 4 large Eggs for topping

Equipment

  • Equipment:
  • Large 12-inch skillet or wok
  • - Small or medium skillet (for eggs)
  • Wooden spoon or sturdy spatula
  • small mixing bowl
  • - Microplane or fine grater (for ginger)
  • - Instant-read thermometer (optional)

Method
 

  1. Instructions:
  2. Prep the Pan: Heat a large 12-inch skillet or wok over medium heat. When the pan is warm, add 2 tablespoons sesame oil and swirl to distribute. Heat until the oil is hot and shimmery (1-2 minutes).
  3. Sauté Aromatics: Add the white parts of the green onions, red onion (if using), and minced garlic. Sauté, stirring frequently, until the onions begin to soften and turn translucent (approx. 5 minutes).
  4. Brown the Pork: Add the ground pork, fresh ginger, water chestnuts (if using), and sriracha. Cook, breaking up the pork into small crumbles, until browned and cooked through (7-10 minutes).
  5. Add Veggies: Stir in the coleslaw mix, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, edamame, and white pepper. Stir until well incorporated and the cabbage begins to wilt.
  6. Fry the Eggs: In a separate small skillet, fry the 4 eggs to your preferred doneness (sunny side up or over easy works best).
  7. Serve: Divide the pork mixture into 4 bowls. Top each with a fried egg, remaining green onion tops, and an extra drizzle of sriracha or creamy chili sauce.

- Genuinely Kid-Approved: The shredded coleslaw mix means no "scary" whole vegetables for picky eaters, and the mild pork and customizable spice levels make it a win for everyone at the table.
