1/2 cup shredded carrots

Sauce

2/3 cup chicken broth
3 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

Prepare Meat and Vegetables: Brown the ground chicken or pork in a skillet and drain any excess fat. Add the cooked meat, finely chopped onion, coleslaw mix, and shredded carrots to the slow cooker.
Make the Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together chicken broth, minced garlic, sesame oil, rice vinegar, ground ginger, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, and red pepper flakes until well combined.
Combine Ingredients: Pour the prepared sauce into the slow cooker over the meat and vegetable mixture. Stir everything thoroughly to ensure that all ingredients are evenly coated.
Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 4 to 6 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the vegetables to soften without becoming mushy.
Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, garnish the dish with sliced green onions, crunchy wonton strips, and a drizzle of sweet chili sauce for added texture and flavor.
Enjoy: Serve warm and enjoy the delicious flavors reminiscent of an egg roll without the fuss of frying or rolling.

Notes

For a spicier version, increase the amount of red pepper flakes or add fresh chopped chili peppers.
You can substitute ground turkey or beef for chicken or pork depending on preference.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, stir in a slurry of cornstarch and water during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Serve over steamed rice or cauliflower rice for a complete meal.
Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop.
