Asian Coleslaw Stirfry

Simple, tasty and healthy as well!  Here's my version of a hamburger cabbage slaw recipe that I've seen all over the internet.  Serve in a bowl as is and call it a meal...or serve over rice.
 

• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 2  tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons minced ginger root
• salt and pepper
• 1-1 pound (454 gr) package coleslaw mix *
• 1 red pepper, thinly sliced
• 3 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sambal Oelek (or use Sriracha sauce to add heat)
• chopped green onion and sesame seeds, for garnish

1. Heat oil in very large skillet over medium high heat.
2. Add beef, garlic and ginger and cook through, while stirring.**
3. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Add coleslaw mix and peppers.
5. Cook for about 5 minutes or until veggies are tender, stirring frequently.
6. Combine hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and Sambal Oelek. Add to skillet and stir for about 30 seconds longer.  (Use Sriracha Sauce instead of Sambal Oelek if your prefer.)
7. Spoon into serving bowl and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.

* Using pre-cut coleslaw mix is a huge time-saver and makes for a quick and simple meal.  If you are more interested in saving money than time, buy a small head of cabbage and do your own shredding.
**Tip ~ Use a potato masher to crumble the ground beef while browning.
