Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Brown the Pork

  5. Season the Pork
    • Pour in the tamari, rice vinegar, and sriracha. Stir well to coat the pork evenly.

    • Toss in the carrots, white parts of the scallions, and coleslaw mix—Stir-fry for about 2 minutes or until the vegetables are slightly softened but still crunchy.
    • Mix in the edamame and cook for another minute to warm through.
  7. Finish and Serve
    • Remove from heat and top with sesame seeds and the green parts of the scallions.
    • Serve immediately.
