Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Ground Pork: This meat gives a rich flavor, but you can swap it for ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option. Ground beef also works if you want something heartier!
Coleslaw Mix: The classic mix of cabbage and carrots adds crunch. If you’re not a fan, you can use chopped bok choy or any leafy greens like spinach. Just adjust the cooking time for softer greens.
Onions: I love using yellow onions for their mild sweetness. If you’re sensitive to onions, shallots or leeks can be a delightful substitute.
Sesame Oil: This brings a nutty flavor. If you don’t have it, try olive oil, though you might miss that sesame essence. You could also use peanut oil for a different twist!
Shredded Cheese: While optional, cheese adds creaminess. If you’re avoiding dairy, try vegan cheese or skip it altogether. Nutritional yeast can add a cheesy flavor too!
How Can I Ensure My Cabbage is Perfectly Tender?
The key to getting the cabbage tender is to cook it just right. You want it softened without becoming mushy. Here’s how to do that:
- Add the coleslaw mix after the meat and aromatics are cooked. This prevents overcooking.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 3-5 minutes. This allows it to wilt nicely.
- Keep an eye on it—once it turns soft and pliable but still has some crunch, you’re golden!
With these tips, you’ll have a delicious meal that’s quick and easy to whip up! Enjoy your cooking!

Can I Use Ground Turkey or Chicken Instead of Pork?
Absolutely! You can substitute ground pork with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option. Just keep in mind that turkey and chicken may cook a bit faster, so check for doneness around the 5-minute mark to prevent overcooking.
