Serves 4-6

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

Directions:

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.
