02 - 1 medium onion, chopped into fine pieces
03 - 1 pound minced meat (chicken, turkey, beef, or pork)
04 - 4 cloves of garlic, minced
05 - 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger root
06 - 8 ounces diced water chestnuts
07 - 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
08 - 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
09 - 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
10 - ¼ cup soy sauce
11 - 1 bag (16 ounces) pre-shredded coleslaw mix
12 - ½ cup finely shredded carrots
13 - ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
14 - ½ teaspoon salt

→ For Garnishing

15 - Black sesame seeds
16 - 4 green onions, sliced finely

→ Spicy Mayo Sauce

17 - ¼ cup mayo
18 - 1-2 tablespoons sriracha (adjust to match your heat preference)

# Instructions:

01 - Heat sesame oil in a large pan over medium heat. When it's hot, toss in your diced onion and cook until soft and see-through, about 3 minutes. Add the ground meat, breaking it apart as it cooks. Stir frequently until browned and there's no pink left—roughly 6 minutes. If there's too much oil, spoon out the excess.
02 - Stir in ginger, garlic, and the chopped water chestnuts to your cooked meat. Mix them well but don’t keep it on the heat too long—just 30 seconds to keep the aroma fresh. The chestnuts add a delicious crunch!
03 - Pour in soy sauce, hoisin, sriracha, and the rice vinegar. Combine everything thoroughly and let it simmer for a minute. This brings out a punchy, bold flavor that's both spicy and savory.
04 - Now throw in the coleslaw mix and carrots. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then stir so the veggies soak up all those amazing flavors. Keep stirring occasionally, and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until softened but still lightly crisp.
05 - Grab a small bowl and stir together your mayo and sriracha. Add the sriracha carefully, tasting as you go, until it's just the right amount of spicy for you. Make sure it's smooth with a slightly reddish color.
06 - When the vegetables are cooked just right, take the pan off the heat. Taste the mix to see if it needs more salt, pepper, or soy sauce. Dish out portions into bowls, sprinkle green onions and sesame seeds on top, and drizzle with your spicy mayo—or serve the sauce on the side for dipping.

# Notes:

01 - This is a quick, pan-cooked version of a beloved appetizer without the wraps.
02 - Need fewer carbs? Swap soy sauce with tamari and use sugar-free hoisin.
03 - It's great for prepping lunches—store it in the fridge for up to 4 days and enjoy as the flavors get richer.
