🛒 Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 1 bag coleslaw mix (regular or broccoli slaw – your choice!)
  • 1 tube (1 lb) pork sausage (choose your preferred flavor, but skip anything sweet like maple)
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic (or more if you’re a garlic lover!)
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp white pepper (or black pepper if that’s what you have)
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil (for that authentic Asian-inspired flavor)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (or more to taste)

🔪 Step-by-Step Instructions

🍖 Step 1: Cook the Sausage

1️⃣ In a large skillet or wok, cook 1 lb of pork sausage over medium heat.
2️⃣ Break it up with a spoon as it cooks, until it’s browned and fully cooked through.
3️⃣ Drain the grease if there’s a lot of it, leaving just a little for flavor.

🥬 Step 2: Add the Veggies and Seasonings

1️⃣ Add 2 tbsp sesame oil to the skillet, then toss in the coleslaw mix.
2️⃣ Stir in the garlic, ginger, onion powder, and white pepper.
3️⃣ Cook everything together, stirring occasionally, until the slaw mix softens to your liking (about 5-7 minutes).

🧂 Step 3: Add the Soy Sauce

1️⃣ Once the veggies are cooked down, pour in 1/4 cup soy sauce.
2️⃣ Stir everything well, making sure the flavors are evenly distributed.
3️⃣ Taste and adjust – if you want more soy sauce or seasonings, add them now!

🍚 Serving Suggestions

This dish is versatile! Here’s how you can enjoy it:
