  • Push the meat to one side and add minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Add the coleslaw mix and pour in soy sauce. Stir to coat the cabbage evenly in the pan juices and sauce.

  • Stir in sliced green onions and season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust soy sauce if necessary.
  • Serve immediately while hot.
