Now, Let’s Walk Through the Cooking Process

  1. Sauté the Sausage: Begin by heating a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground sausage and break it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Cook the sausage until it’s browned and fully cooked, ensuring it’s crumbled into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Seasoning: Once the sausage is cooked through, add the ground ginger and garlic powder to the skillet. Stir them in, letting their aromatic flavors infuse the sausage.
  3. Coleslaw Mix: Add the 8 cups of tricolored coleslaw mix to the skillet. Stir and toss the mixture until the coleslaw wilts and becomes tender, which should take just a few minutes.
  4. Soy Sauce: Pour the 3 tablespoons of low-sodium soy sauce over the mixture. Continue to cook and stir, allowing the soy sauce to evenly coat the ingredients and enhance the flavors.
  5. Serve & Garnish: Once everything is heated through and well combined, it’s ready to serve. Scoop into serving dishes and top it with chopped green onions for a burst of color and freshness.

Tip

You can adjust the amount of cabbage up or down, depending on your preferences. For a meatier bowl, use 7 cups of cabbage. For more more texture, use the full 8 or even 9 cups of cabbage. As with a lot of greens, the cabbage cooks down significantly.
