Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound ground sausage
- 7 cups coleslaw mix (about 2 bags, shredded cabbage and carrots, no seasoning packets)
- 2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 1 tbsp ginger (fresh grated or ground)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 cup green onions, sliced
Optional Ingredients
- 1 tbsp red pepper flakes (for added heat)
- Additional soy sauce or sweet and sour sauce for topping
Instructions
- Cook the sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground sausage. Stir and crumble it frequently until fully cooked through and browned, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat if desired.
- Add coleslaw mix and seasonings: Stir in the coleslaw mix, garlic powder, ginger, and soy sauce (or coconut aminos). Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the coleslaw wilts slightly but still retains some crunch, about 5 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and vegetables to soften.
- Finish with green onions and optional toppings: Remove from heat and top with sliced green onions. Drizzle additional soy sauce, coconut aminos, or sweet and sour sauce as desired for extra flavor. Sprinkle red pepper flakes if you want some heat.
