  • 1 14 oz bag coleslaw mix (or shredded cabbage)

  • Cook the Ground Meat: Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground chicken or turkey, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.

  • Season the Dish: Pour in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and hoisin sauce (if using). Stir well to combine and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. If you like some heat, add the crushed red pepper flakes at this point.
