How to Make Crispy Wonton Pork and Vegetable Bowls

1. Prepare the Sauce

In a bowl, combine ½ cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil. Stir until the sugar dissolves and set the mixture aside.

2. Cook the Pork

Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and use a wooden spoon to break it up as it cooks. Continue cooking the pork for about 5-7 minutes, until it is browned and no longer pink.

3. Add Aromatics

Once the pork is cooked, add the white parts of the scallions, minced garlic, and grated fresh ginger to the skillet. Stir and cook for about 1 minute, just until the mixture becomes fragrant.

4. Add Vegetables and Sauce

Add the bag of green coleslaw mix and the sliced shiitake mushrooms to the skillet. Pour in the soy sauce mixture you prepared earlier. Cook everything together for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is just wilted and the mushrooms are tender.

5. Finish and Serve

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the green parts of the scallions. Divide the pork and vegetable mixture among four bowls. Top each bowl with a generous handful of crispy wonton strips.

Variations

Swap the Protein

Chicken for a lighter version, Beef for a more robust flavor, Tofu as a vegetarian alternative, or Shrimp for a seafood twist.

Switch Up the Base

Quinoa as a protein-packed grain alternative, Cauliflower Rice for a low-carb option, or Soba Noodles for a Japanese-inspired twist.

Vary the Vegetables

Incorporate seasonal vegetables like zucchini, squash, or asparagus. Leafy Greens like spinach, kale, or Swiss chard for nutrients and texture, or different mushroom varieties for earthy depth.

Modify the Sauce

Oyster Sauce for umami-rich flavor, Hoisin Sauce for a sweeter and tangier taste, Fish Sauce for authentic Thai or Vietnamese profiles.

Change the Aromatics

Lemongrass for a citrusy, herbal note. Chilies for heat and complexity. Cilantro or Thai Basil for a fresh, herbaceous element.
