Crack Slaw

Someone on this site recommended this recipe a long time ago, and its one of my favorites.  I double the hot sauce.  Its again a great healthy low carb recipe for getting back on track.

Crack Slaw

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef

• salt and pepper

• 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 small onion, sliced

• ½ head of cabbage, shredded

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce

• 1/2 teaspoon sriracha sauce (Asian hot sauce)

• 1 (1 g) equal sweetner

• 1/2 teaspoon fresh minced ginger or ground ginger

• 1 teaspoon vinegar

   

Directions:

1. Brown ground beef and season with salt and pepper to taste.

2. Remove from pan and set aside.

3. Heat up sesame oil and sauté garlic, onions, and slaw in sesame oil until cabbage cooked to desired tenderness.

4. Stir in the soy sauce, Sriracha sauce, Splenda, ginger and vinegar.

5. Add back in hamburger. Mix well and serve!

6. Serve with additional Sriracha sauce on the side for people who want to add spice.

I actually leave out the equal/splenda in this recipe (it gives my stomach the yucks).  I don't miss the sweet taste at all! One of my coworkers said this tastes like the inside of an eggroll.  She's right! 

I've also tried it with other meats - lean pork & lean chicken.  If you're looking to try something that tastes a little different, they're both good.  And finally, I've sometimes thrown some nuts into it, which is so yummy!

Can't wait until I can have cabbage to try this.  It looks delicious!
