Ingredients
  

  • 2 T toasted sesame oil
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger peeled and minced
  • 1 cup bagged matchstick carrots
  • 1 cup red bell pepper julienned thin
  • 8 oz canned water chestnuts sliced
  • 1.5 T arrowroot
  • ½ teaspoon pink Himalayan salt
  • 10 turns fresh cracked black pepper
  • ½ cup scallions cut in 1 inch pieces
  • 1 12oz bag of cole slaw mix
  • 1 jalapeno sliced thin, for garnish

Coconut Peanut Sauce:

  • 1 cup coconut aminos
  • ¼ cup peanut butter or almond butter
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup fresh orange juice
  • 1 T orange zest

Instructions
 

  • Begin by warming a large sauce pan over medium high heat for two minutes then add your sesame oil, ground pork, shredded carrots, julienned red bell, fresh ginger and water chestnuts.
  • Distribute the pork evenly across the pan then leave alone for a couple minutes, so you can achieve browning. Break up pork and let saute with vegetables until pork is fully cooked through and veggies begin to soften, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Sprinkle pork mixture with salt, pepper and arrowroot, combining well.
  • Turn heat down to medium and pour sauce atop, stirring constantly until sauce comes to a simmer and begins to thicken from the arrowroot, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Remove pan from heat and stir in scallions and bagged cole slaw mix, combining well. Garnish with sliced jalapeños and serve immediately.
