Ingredients
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and cook the ground pork for 6–7 minutes, breaking it apart, until fully browned.
- Add the sliced onion and minced garlic. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the onion softens and becomes fragrant.
- Stir in the coleslaw mix. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cabbage softens and excess moisture cooks off.

Notes
Coleslaw mix saves prep time, but fresh cabbage works well too. Adjust soy sauce for sodium preference. Garnish with green onions or sesame seeds for extra flavor and freshness.
