Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 (16 ounce) bags dry coleslaw mix shredded cabbage and carrots
  • 5 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 yellow onion chopped
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • Green onions sliced, for topping

Equipment

  • Large deep skillet
  • Wooden spoon
  • Small bowl
  • Knife

Method
 

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped yellow onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant.
  3. Add 1 pound of breakfast sausage to the skillet. Break it apart with a wooden spoon and cook until it is browned and no longer pink.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together 1/3 cup soy sauce and 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger.
  5. Add both 16-ounce bags of dry coleslaw mix to the skillet. Stir everything together so the cabbage and carrots can blend with the cooked sausage and aromatics.
  6. Pour the soy sauce mixture over the contents of the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the cabbage is slightly wilted but still retains a bit of crunch.
  7. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately.

Notes

This recipe is extremely flexible, allowing you to swap out the breakfast sausage for ground pork, turkey, chicken, or even tofu for a leaner option. For those mindful of sodium, low-sodium soy sauce works well. If you prefer, you can shred your own cabbage and carrots instead of using coleslaw mix. Serve with steamed rice or a light cucumber salad for an extra burst of freshness.
