Keto Crack Slaw Recipe

You will love the bold Asian flavor of this Keto Crack Slaw whether you are on a low carb diet or not! Ground beef and chopped cabbage make the base of this tasty main dish, and it is so quick to whip up.

The name alone lets you know how yummy it’s going to be. I know I was hooked after just one bite, and I bet you will be too! 

I have a similar recipe for egg roll in a bowl, but ginger and sesame oil gives this one a different flavor. Try both of them and see which one is your favorite!

I’m sure there are some of you out there that aren’t crazy about the name of this dish. Totally agree, I wish we could come up with something other than “crack” to describe dishes that taste freaking fantastic.

But alas, I didn’t name it, I just made it. And consumed it. For three days straight. It’s that good! If you just want to call it keto slaw, no worries, I won’t stand in your way.

This is one of those keto friendly dishes that doesn’t actually taste low carb. My whole family will eat it without complaints which is always a win!

HOW TO MAKE LOW CARB CRACK SLAW

1. Brown the ground beef over medium high heat in a large skillet. 
2. Stir in the ginger, minced onion, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and salt. Saute for a minute or two to really bring out the flavors.
   
3. Add the water, soy sauce, and chopped cabbage. Turn heat down to medium; cook and stir just until the cabbage is crisp tender. You can more water if you need too, just add small amounts at a time.
   
4. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the sesame oil. Garnish with sesame seeds.

HOW TO STORE LEFTOVERS – You can store any leftovers in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. I don’t recommend freezing the slaw, because the cabbage loses its crispness. And no one wants mushy cabbage!

PRO TIPS:

• Make sure you cook your cabbage just till it is crisp tender. If you overcook it, it gets mushy.
• I like to add the sesame oil right before serving. If you are using toasted sesame oil, it is already cooked, so if you overheat it, it can develop a bitter taste.
• For a boost of flavor, toast your sesame seeds. You can toast them in a skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly. It takes about 3 minutes. Or you can use the oven preheated to 350°; that takes about five minutes. For either method, watch them closely!!
•  

VARIATIONS:

• Instead of ground beef, you can use ground pork, chicken, or turkey.
• You can use a bag of coleslaw mix instead of the cabbage, but the carb count will be higher due to the carrots.
• For extra heat, drizzle with sriracha sauce before serving.
• You can absolutely use fresh garlic and ginger if you so desire.
• If you want a little sweetness, you can add a teaspoon of your favorite low carb sweetener. I recommend brown Swerve. 
• Feel free to replace the soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.
