Low Carb Crack Slaw Recipe (Keto-friendly):

Ingredients:

For the Crack Slaw:

• 1 lb ground beef or ground pork
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced
• 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon sriracha or hot sauce (adjust to taste)
• 1 teaspoon erythritol or your preferred keto sweetener
• 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the Slaw:

• 4 cups shredded cabbage (green or napa cabbage)
• 1 medium carrot, grated
• Green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Meat:
   • In a large skillet or wok, cook the ground beef or pork over medium-high heat until browned. Break it into crumbles while cooking.
   • Remove any excess fat from the skillet.
2. Add Aromatics:
   • Push the meat to one side of the skillet. Add the sliced onion and bell pepper to the other side. Sauté for a few minutes until they start to soften.
3. Create the Sauce:
   • Mix together the minced garlic and ginger in the skillet, allowing them to release their fragrance.
   • In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil, sriracha, erythritol, and rice vinegar. Pour this sauce mixture over the meat and vegetables in the skillet.
4. Combine and Season:
   • Toss everything together to evenly coat the meat and vegetables with the sauce.
   • Add the sesame seeds and season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Add the Slaw:
   • Add the shredded cabbage and grated carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for a few minutes until the cabbage is slightly wilted but still retains some crunch.
6. Serve:
   • Divide the crack slaw among serving plates.
   • Garnish with sliced green onions for added freshness and color.
