Weeknight Skillet Slaw

Update 7/12/16 : This is good with tofu or use chicken in strips, whatever is good. Triple the amount of sauce when adding noodles or rice. Also, add some extra flavor and add a Tbsp of toasted sesame oil. Yum!! Original review: This is so good and equally versatile. I have made this twice and served it with white steamed rice and once with rice noodles. Yum! The leftovers are great wrapped inside radicchio leaves. Thank you for the recipe.

This has become a go to weeknight dinner, as the recipe is written I rate as 4 star but when additional veggies are added it is 5 star! I add thinly sliced mushrooms and more greens, have used both brussel sprouts and bok choy. Either worked well and there is no need to remove the meat from the pan before adding the veggies, leave everything together so there is only 1 dish to clean :)

For those looking for more flavor, try finishing with a sprinkle of cilantro. Yum. I couldn't stop eating this and I didn't feel guilty. I Love the ease and the fact that I didn't have to make a starch for a filling meal (we are diabetic). I will definitely recommend this to my friends and family. Thanks for the recipe.

I have made this several times. It's a good quick meal. I use broccoli slaw blend and julienne any crispy veggies that I may have hanging around in the fridge waiting to get used up. Snap peas are particularly good. I also add cilantro as everyone in our house loves it. The sesame seeds don't add much IMO, but hubby likes to add chopped peanuts to his portion. I sprinkle a little toasted sesame oil over the top once cooking is done. Easy, quick and healthy--- what's not to like?

I followed this recipe pretty much as is with the exception of a couple of changes. I added onion to turkey when cooking it, and substituted white sugar for agave syrup. This was great and light. I served it over Jasmine rice. Delicious!!! A new staple for me.

Added roasted chickpeas instead of turkey & used honey instead of agave. It was pretty yummy & inexpensive. The cabbage on it's own isn't very filling, so add as much protein as you need to have a full meal.

Very tasty recipe. Pretty much made it as the recipe calls for, with the exception of fresh ginger, organic cane sugar in place of agave syrup, a touch more garlic and added soaked rice noodles to the wok, stir fried it all up together and oh my, so good. Will make again, thanks.

I made this as written but doubled the sauce. I also added snow peas. I grated some cabbage for the slaw, but added diced carrots instead of grated. Used sriracha sauce for the heat along with some red pepper flakes. Used sugar instead of the agave sauce, didn't have sesame oil or sesame seeds. This is a great weeknight recipe because it's completely filling without requiring a starch. To the member who gave this dish one star because you didn't know what "coleslaw mix" is, shame on you.

This is a great quick, weeknight, healthy meal. I didn't have that hot sauce or agave. I used chili/garlic paste and brown sugar. It got a bit spicy. I did double the whole sauce recipe. I added the first batch didn't have much flavor. So, made another batch. Also, used lean ground beef for the turkey and a whole onion. Next time I want to try sweet Thai chili sauce.

We loved this and it is so versatile and quick. I tripled the sauce because I am a big fan of sauce, only double the hot sauce though. It turned out to be the perfect amount of sauce too. I thought I might try adding red onions next time, I added snow peas this time and used an Asian salad mix instead of slaw mix. However, I think the slaw would have been much better, even though this was amazing and full of flavor.

This is a keeper recipe for my family. It was easy and quick to make. I added some additional veggies, red bell pepper, onion and some additional match stick carrots. We will definately make it again. I may try adding a different meat next time.

This makes it into rotation at least once a month. Thanks to ground turkey triple packs from Costco and my lack of imagination on what to do with them. The fact that this uses up any left over veggies in my fridge is a total win in my book! The recipe is simple enough that you can adapt to whatever you have on hand.

This was so good. I used pork sausage instead of ground turkey, and water chestnuts for extra crunch.

This was really good. I made it exactly as stated. Next time I’m going to use the entire bag of slaw (14 oz. ) not just 8 ounces so might have to increase the sauce a bit. It would be good with hamburger too. I’ll make it again.

Awesome base but definitely double the sauce and keep the cholula or siracha on the side for some added heat! I also don't make the sauce separate -I cook the turkey, once it's cooked I add the slaw stuff, then I just add all the sauce ingredients at the end. Fabulous! AND....it's good hot or cold. Thanks!

The name is accurate! It's that good! Some of the ingredients sound weird, but it's a great combination.

Tasty, but even with only about 2/3 of the sauce, it was too spicy for us. We added some raw coleslaw mix on top to take out the heat and it that did it. Next time I'll reduce the hot sauce, soy sauce and the pepper by at least half. Still, it was a quick, healthy, tasty meal and I'll make it again. Thanks!

Quick and easy - just as described. I had it on the table in about 20minutes. I used 1/2 lean ground beef and 1/2 lean ground Turkey . I left out the hot sauce for the kids but added it to my portion. Both tasted great my kids actually cleaned their plates- quite an accomplishment for me. I used honey/ brown sugar instead of agave. I will definitely make this again!

Very good and healthy. I also used honey as I didn't have agave. Otherwise made as written using Louisiana Hot Sauce. Sprinkled some sriracha on top and some peanuts for extra crunch.

I made this recipe to the T except I used ground venison in place of turkey. I can't eat turkey. This is a fabulous dish. We both really enjoyed it. It was super fast to prepare, so I will be making this often. I used minced garlic from a jar and the tube of ginger you can buy in a paste. Talk about being able to throw something together fast.

I made it into a vegan recipe by using vegetarian meat crumbles instead of ground turkey. I also didn't cook the cabbage mixture. I just warmed up the dressing and combined the chopped veggies with the meat crumbles. I see why they call it Crack Slaw.

I tweak up as usual. Added 1T. Sambal Olek, 1 clove minced garlic, shaoxing (sp?) Chinese cookingwine, and sesame oil to the sauce mixture. I added snap peas and additional shoestring cut carrots to the listed veg. and, sauteed the veg for a minute or two b4 adding the slaw. The variations are only limited to your imagination. ie ground pork, beef, chicken, lamb or seasoned cubed tofu. As for the veg, celery, baby bok choy, baby corn, zucchini or yellow summer squash, bean sprout. leaf spinach or chopped kale. It cooking not rocket science......make it YOUR OWN!

It was a good meal. It tasted like a deconstructed pork egg roll. I doubled the sauce and used about 10-12oz of coleslaw. Both the wife and I enjoyed this and will make again. We didn't serve over rice or noodles like many have said but may try it next time.

This is the same as Egg Roll in a Bowl! It's delicious!

I made the dressing wrong and loved it. At a glance thought the sesame oil was a dressing ingredient. Didnt have sesame oil or seeds so I used tahini in the dressing.

I made this with ground beef and added it to a couple cooked packages of ramen. It was delish.

A bit bland but has great potential. Nice and easy. I would brown the turkey as it looked a bit anemic. I will definitely make again. I used broccoli slaw an it was good.

I made this and served over jasmine rice. I didn't have any green onions so I sliced a whole yellow onion into it since a few people said it needed something. Whole family loved it. Requested a double batch for next time.

This might be the best (meaning simplistic, tasty, and healthiest) recipe I have ever found and saved, ever. I love it and we make it for dinner each week. Thanks!!!

made as is (not as depicted)... verdict... Yumm! I was surprised even my wife (not a cole slaw fan) liked it and had seconds. She has requested it be added to the meal rota :)

Made this so many many times excellent. Had company over recently they loved it, said it had a nice kick to it and they asked for second.

This was indeed addictively delicious! I took the advice of others and doubled the sauce. I made a mistake and substituted Sambal Oelek for the hot sauce --- that was so hot that it made me sweat --- so don't substitute chili paste for the hot sauce (my husband pointed out that the first ingredient in Cholula is water and the first ingredient in Sambal is chile peppers. Even with that mistake, this tasted so good we kept on eating!

made with 1.5 lbs of turkey(Costco) and adjusted ingredients accordingly. My wife liked it alot.

I followed the recipe exactly. Both my husband and I enjoyed the great flavors and crunch. It’s a fast, tasty recipe I will make again

Really easy, fast, and yummy. We have always called these recipes "egg roll in a bowl". I didn't have agave nectar, so I used honey. Will definitely make again.

We loved this. I doubled the sauce but instead of 2 tbsp of hot sauce, I used 1 1/2 and used Coconut Aminos or Bragg Liquid Aminos. I had a bunch of extra veggies from a veggie tray, including broccoli, snap peas, cauliflower, and mushrooms. I added the firmer veggies after cooking the turkey for a couple of minutes to my wok and then added others in stages, stirring and covering in between. I added the garlic last and reserved the green onions. Continued to flow recipe and after the turkey was fully incorporated, added the green onions and cooked for another minute or so. Removed from heat and added sesame seeds. Husband served over brown rice ramen noodles, and I made wraps with mine with steamed collared greens. I added some shiritake rice, raw green onions, and a little more sesame seeds to my wrap. We had a salad on the side, but with the extra veggies, we did not need it. I also served it with Kimchi on the side, and husband like mixed into his bowl. Yummy and easy meal and can be made so many different ways!

I used sriracha sauce for the hot sauce. I doubled the amount of sauce, added more of the veggies plus snow peas, sugar snap peas, peanuts, rice noodles, and additional sesame oil per other reviewer’s recommendations. Loved it! We are thinking pork will work well with this recipe, too. It’s a keeper!

I doubled the sauce. It was crunchy and delicious.

Great recipe. Need to double the veggies for us. The spice profile was great for our family tastes - medium heat and flavorful.

My hubby loved this. Spicy with a good blend of flavors, it was definitely a quick and easy meal at the end of a workday. I'll definitely be making this one again. Thanks for sharing a great recipe!

Followed the recipe except I didn't have scallions and just used shallots . We're making it again tonight.

We loved this!

I enjoyed this dish. My only change was to replace Agave syrup with stevia powder. I like it a little spicier so added additional chipotle hot sauce to mine. I'll be making it again.

Wonderful, flavourful and EASY! I just added a bit more red peoper and some broccoli I had kicking around. Delicious and will make again on a regular basis!

Used garlic chili sauce instead of Cholula the second time I made it. That was pretty tasty. This has become a staple for us now, perfect for busy nights.

I doubled the sauce and doubled the slaw. I subbed brown palm sugar for agave and sriracha chill sauce for hot sauce. I also added cilantro. I liked very much after the changes.

I made this based on rave reviews but I am totally baffled as to why people love this recipe. It lacks flavour, even when I made extra sauce as others have noted. Maybe it’s because I am Asian? Not sure but I needed to add other Asian condiments to make it more flavourful.

I doubled the veggies, doubled the sauce too. I used siracha since I was out of Cholula. Cut the salt down by half and used a hair less sugar. 32 oz Cole slaw mix fr Sams plus what ever other veggies I had. It was the perfect amount for 5 adults with a leftover lunch for one the next day. Served it over thick mashed pot's. Excellent.

Easy to make and delicious. Moving into our rotation and I'll bring it to the next potluck.

Great flavor - simple to make - dinner in less than 15 minutes! Use quality ingredients and don't skip ingredients. Great base for other proteins.

This will definitely be added to my favorites! Truly enjoyed the combination of flavors with a little “kick”! After reading the reviews ( I like dressing) I made a triple batch of the sauce, but only 1 T of the hot sauce! Just right for me! Next time I will add more of the coleslaw mix! I can’t wait for an opportunity to make for a family gathering!

My family absolutely loves this recipe. I've made it twice in two weeks. It is quick, easy, and healthy. We added more vegetables to the stir fry to clear out our fridge and beef up the veggie to meat ratio.

It is quick and easy. All ingredients i have normally. I added warm tortillas on the side. My boys like to eat everything in a sandwich or taco form. Perfect option for us!

Fantastic! I doubled the sauce. Added sugar snap peas. Next time I will triple the sauce.

It was ok. Quick and Easy. Great way to add more veggies. Left out agave but unchanged other than that. Lacked flavor.

Surprisingly good. I'll double the recipe next time just so I can have some leftovers.

I was surprised how much flavor was in this recipe given how little sauce there was. I followed the recipe, though didn't have "coleslaw mix" and subbed shredded carrot and red cabbage. We also had rice on the side. This would be fantastic stuffed in lettuce wraps aw well. The ginger flavor is amazing. Absolutely a must try with ground turkey!

Easy quick delicious

Delicious! I only made the veggie part, kept it raw, and added the garlic and sesame oil to the sauce. I used a bag each of cabbage slaw, broccoli slaw and carrots so I made a generous amount of sauce, keeping the hot sauce at 1 T. It was zingy at first bite and after marrying in the fridge for a half hour, it is AMAZING! No more boring slaw for this house!

I thought I would be the only one eating this. How wrong I was... the whole family dug in and there was nothing left. I followed the recipe exactly. Now a staple on my quick weeknight meal list

Tasty and filling and even better the next day

Was delicious!!I I added fresh jalapeno since i like hot and spicy.

I will make this again- made more sauce. Used Tobasco Chipotle smoked, I did not measure ammount. Just right for flavor - not to spicey lingering heet.....

Not bad but needed some extra flavor. Added General Tso sauce which made it good.

I loved this! Excluded the red pepper and ground turkey. Added around 1 tsp of apple cider vinegar. Then topped the slaw with Aldi's chickenless breaded patties, sliced up. Sprinkled with red chili flakes. SO GOOD. Rightfully named crack slaw.

Such a yummy, quick dinner. I substituted 1/3 tsp. chili paste for the hot sauce, and maple syrup for the agave syrup (based on what I had on hand). I added apx. 1/2 lb. asparagus spears cut on the diagonal with the veggies at the end. Earning its name, this was so good I ate the leftovers for breakfast the next morning! (I've also added sautéed mushrooms.).

Should have made more sauce. The aroma was wonderful but disappointed as to so little flavor.

It was great the family loved it

This was good, but not GREAT!!! as others have rated. I made it as directed except substituting brown sugar for the agave syrup. If I make it again, I would add more cole slaw mix ( our store sells 1lb bags- I would use it all) and maybe corn starch to the sauce to thicken it. Overall, it was quick and easy and pretty tasty.

Used beef and ginger powder as I didn't have fresh. It was still yummy!

There are some good flavors going on here. I had apple cider vinegar on hand instead of rice vinegar, and that seemed fine. If I do it again I would use half the meat (and possibly chicken, beef or shrimp) or another bag of veggies as the meat seemed to be the star of the show.

I liked it, my husband loved it. I didn't feel it had enough flavor, so I added heat to it. I think I'd like it better with sliced beef, chicken or pork. I'll make it again, and add extra flavor, maybe a little more ginger and garlic. This can be tailored to any flavor, with any vegetables.

This was quick, delicious, and healthy. I used a full 14oz bag of cole slaw instead of 8oz and doubled the sauce. I also left out the sesame seeds and served it with crushed peanuts on top. Will definitely be making this again and double the recipe for the whole family since this was only enough for 2 very hungry adults.

Great meal! I added fresh mushrooms quartered. Used organic ground chicken and fresh carrots (julienned and lightly steamed). Will be adding to my weekly menu.

Meh. If you need a pretty dinner for very little money or effort this is worth making. Otherwise I'd say skip it.

Pretty tasty and easy. Will definitely make it again.

This was okay, but not terribly exciting. I made my own slaw from cabbage and carrots I already had. I'd like to add something to the sauce to make it zestier if I make it again.

It wasn't spectacular but it is good and healthy.

Very good. I didn't have agave and used white sugar. I actually made it twice in one week since I was craving it again!!

I had spicy italian sausage, broccoli, kale, green and red pepper. Used honey instead of simple syrup. Delish!!

I live alone so this was a lot. (Leftovers for 3 days) I didn't have the hot sauce mentioned so I used sriracha only 1tsp. spicy is not my thing. I had no turkey (and wouldn't ever) so I used 90-10 hamburger. Had no coleslaw mix but had cabbage and carrots so i used about 1/3 small head of cabbage and 1 medium carrot shredded. (Stay at home and avoid grocery stores kind of limits a cook LOL) still I loved the flavor and served it with white rice one day and Farro the next.

Easy to make. Would have loved to include the hot sauce but small kids kind of prevent that.

good simple recipe I didn't add the hot sauce as some do not like it so I added to mine separate .. easily changed up or substituted if necessary!!! I didn't use ground meat I had to use thin sliced pork as that is what I had and I did add extra veges to use them up...

This was delicious. I shredded my own veggies, so I had more than you would with a package of slaw mix. I doubled the sauce, but used only 1 Tbsp. of hot sauce. My husband loved it. Since there are just two of us, we fortunately have leftovers and get to enjoy it a second time.

Very easy. Reminds me of a Chinese take out.

I without a doubt will make this again! SUPER GOOD... We cleaned the wok. It was fantastic.

very good-hot or cold i used left-over roast beef

Was absolutely Amazing!! My whole family loved this recipe!

This is really good! I skipped the agave syrup as I didn't have any at home. I'll try it with the syrup next time. Thanks for the recipe, this is a new healthy favorite!

Tasteless and oily.

Love it! Healthy and easy!

Just ate my first delicious serving for breakfast! Ran out of time/energy last night when shredding veggies to add to my scant slaw mix so had to refrigerate it all overnight. I served it with instant ramen noodles (boiled without the seasoning) and chopped peanuts. I’m already looking forward to my next serving!

Quick and easy and the family loved it. I had a big bag of coleslaw that I needed to use up so this was a great recipe for that!

I made as the recipe is,no changes. It was very quick to make but not sure I would make this again.

I added a couple of tablespoons of oyster sauce to improve the flavor. I almost always make it with ground turkey. It's a keeper of a recipe.

Great easy staple!

Yummmm....

I used maple syrup instead of agave (cause that's what I had) and I doubled the amount of cabbage. Served it with rice. Husband scarfed it down!
