Ingredients

1 Tbsp vegetable oil or neutral oil or cooking spray
1 lbs lean ground pork
3 green onions finely chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
2 cups frozen vegetable blend with peas, carrots, corn
1/2 package coleslaw mix or 3 cups shredded cabbage
3 cups cooked and cooled rice
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 Tbsp sesame oil
2-3 Tbsp sriracha optional
salt and pepper to taste

Optional toppings

green onions, sriracha, kewpie mayonnaise, sesame seeds

Instructions

Cook meat: Heat a large pan with oil or cooking spray to medium high heat. Add ground pork and cook until very little pink remains. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to break up meat into crumbles as it cooks, stirring every 2-3 minutes for even cooking.
Add onions and garlic: When meat is almost done cooking, add green onions and garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes or until fragrant and onion are slightly translucent. Mixture will be done when meat is completely browned and no pink remains.
Remove meat from pan: Remove meat, onions and garlic from the pan and set aside. Drain some of the remaining meat juices, leaving about 1 Tbsp in the pan.
Add frozen vegetables: To the same pan, add frozen vegetables. You will notice excess moisture in the pan as the vegetables thaw. Cook for 4-5 minutes uncovered, stirring halfway. Cook until vegetables are thawed and most of the liquid has evaporated.
Add coleslaw: Add coleslaw mixture to the pan with the other vegetables and stir until combined. Cover with lid and cook for 3-4 minutes. Remove the lid, stir well, and cover with lid again. Repeat this process 2-3 times or until coleslaw is cooked down and translucent, and vegetables begin to brown.
Add rice, seasonings, and meat: Add rice, soy sauce, sriracha, sesame oil, and cooked meat mixture to the pan and stir well until ingredients are evenly combined and rice appears as an even color. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.
Serve and enjoy: Serve rice into bowls and add toppings as desired. Enjoy immediately!

Notes

Use short or medium grain rice for best results.
Make sure to cook excess moisture out of frozen vegetables before adding additional ingredients.
