    1 lb.
  • minced fresh ginger
    3 tbsp.
  • garlic cloves

    minced

    4
  • green onions

    thinly sliced

    4
  • soy sauce
    ¼ c.
  • low-sodium chicken broth
    ¼ c.
  • honey
    1 tbsp.
  • sesame oil
    1 tbsp.
  • cornstarch
    1 tsp.

    1
  • cooked white or brown rice

    optional

    2 c.
  • sesame seeds and fried wonton strips

    for serving

  • sriracha

    for serving, optional

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork, cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until mostly cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add the ginger, garlic, and most of the green onions and continue to cook until the pork is completely cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes more.

  2. 2

    Make the stir-fry sauce by mixing the soy sauce, chicken broth, honey, sesame oil, cornstarch, and lime juice in a small bowl. Add it to the skillet, along with the slaw mix, and stir to incorporate. Cook until the slaw is beginning to wilt and the sauce is thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Serve over rice, if you like, or on its own. Garnish with the remaining green onions and some sesame seeds, wonton strips, and sriracha for added heat.
