Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Ground Pork: This is the star of the dish! It’s juicy and flavorful. If you’re looking for a healthier option, ground turkey works great too. You could even try ground chicken if that’s what you have on hand.
Coleslaw Mix: This mix of cabbage and carrots adds crunch and color. If you don’t have it, you can use just shredded cabbage, or make your own mix by shredding some carrots and cabbage.
Soy Sauce: This adds a savory depth. If you’re avoiding soy, try using tamari or coconut aminos as a gluten-free alternative. It’ll keep the dish great while catering to dietary restrictions.
Sriracha: If you enjoy some spice, sriracha is perfect. Want less heat? Leave it out or switch to a milder hot sauce. You could also use sweet chili sauce for a different flavor.
How Do I Cook the Pork to Get It Just Right?
Cooking the ground pork properly is key to getting great flavor and texture. Start by breaking up the meat with a spatula as it cooks. This helps it brown evenly and keeps it nice and crumbly.
- Heat your Blackstone griddle over medium heat and add the ground pork.
- Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it’s browned. Break up any large chunks.
- Once it’s cooked, you’ll know it’s ready when there’s no pink left!
Don’t rush this step. The browning adds to the overall taste and gives the dish nice color!

Can I Use Ground Turkey Instead of Pork?
Absolutely! Ground turkey is a great lean alternative to ground pork. Just keep in mind that the flavor may be a bit milder, so you might want to add a pinch more seasoning or sauce to enhance the taste.
What Can I Substitute for Soy Sauce?
If you’re looking for a gluten-free option, coconut aminos work beautifully as a soy sauce substitute. You could also use tamari or a homemade blend of balsamic vinegar and water for a different flavor profile!
How Should I Store Leftovers?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of water if needed to keep the mixture moist. It’s perfect for an easy lunch!
Can I Add Extra Vegetables?
Definitely! Feel free to customize by adding bell peppers, snap peas, or mushrooms. Just make sure to chop them into small pieces and add them to the pan along with the onion and garlic so they soften up nicely!
