Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 lb (454 g) ground beef
Vegetables:
- 1 bag tri-color coleslaw
Seasonings and Sauces:
- 1/2 tablespoon ground ginger
- 1 cup G Hughes Sugar-Free Teriyaki Marinade
Instructions
- Warm a large skillet over medium-high heat and thoroughly cook the ground beef, ensuring it crumbles into fine pieces while releasing excess fat.
- Carefully drain the accumulated grease, then return the beef to the pan’s surface.
- Sprinkle ground ginger across the meat, mixing thoroughly to distribute the aromatic spice evenly throughout the protein.
- Introduce the tri-color coleslaw mix directly into the seasoned beef, creating a vibrant and textural base for the dish.
- Pour the sugar-free teriyaki marinade over the meat and vegetable mixture, gently folding ingredients to ensure comprehensive coating and flavor integration.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and allow the mixture to simmer, stirring periodically to prevent sticking and promote even cooking.
- Monitor the cabbage’s texture, cooking until it reaches a tender yet slightly crisp consistency, typically requiring 5-7 minutes of gentle simmering.
- Once vegetables have softened and flavors have melded, remove the skillet from heat and transfer the aromatic mixture to serving dishes.
- Optionally garnish with green onions or sesame seeds for additional visual appeal and subtle crunch before presenting the low-carb egg roll alternative.
Notes
- Opt for lean ground beef to reduce fat content and create a healthier version of this dish.
- Experiment with ground turkey or chicken as protein alternatives for different flavor profiles and dietary needs.
- Add a sprinkle of sesame seeds or chopped green onions on top for extra crunch and visual appeal.
- When using sugar-free teriyaki, check labels carefully to ensure it meets low-carb requirements and doesn’t contain hidden sugars.
