For a vegetarian option, substitute the meat with smoked tofu or tempeh. Experiment with different types of vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar, for a unique flavor twist. Add a handful of toasted sesame seeds or chopped peanuts for added texture and nutty flavor.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Cabbage: Halve and core the cabbage. Slice each half into 1/4-inch thick strips. Set aside. (Prep time: 10 minutes)
02
StepCombine Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine green onions, bell pepper, and crushed garlic. Use a vegetable peeler to peel thin strips of carrot directly over the bowl. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
03
StepSear the Meat: Place a nonstick skillet over high heat and add the pulled pork (or your choice of meat). Cook until heated through and a flavorful brown crust forms on the meat. This should take approximately 5 minutes. If the meat is lean, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of avocado oil to the pan as needed. Pour the hot pork over the prepared vegetables and toss to combine using tongs. (Cook time: 5 minutes)
04
StepSauté the Cabbage: Add 2 tablespoons of avocado oil to the same pan and return to high heat. Add the sliced cabbage and salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the cabbage softens slightly and begins to brown in spots, but still retains a bit of crunch. (Cook time: 8-10 minutes)
05
StepAssemble the Slaw: Transfer the sautéed cabbage to the bowl with the meat and vegetables. Add black pepper, sriracha, and seasoned rice vinegar. Mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients. Stir in the chopped cilantro. (Assembly time: 3 minutes)
06
StepSeason and Serve: Taste the slaw for seasoning and adjust salt, pepper, sriracha (for heat), and vinegar as needed to achieve your desired flavor profile. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions before serving. If making ahead, warm the slaw slightly before serving to revive the flavors. (Adjusting time: 2 minutes)
