• Change the Ground Meat – Try ground turkey or shrimp instead of ground pork. Ground beef or shredded chicken is also a good substitute. I like using what meat I have leftover.

• Change the Slaw Mix – Broccoli slaw is also a tasty substitute for the coleslaw mix.
• Water Chestnuts – Add water chestnuts for extra crunch.
• Vegetarian Option – If you prefer to make this vegetarian, omit the protein and substitute with tofu. Instead of using chicken broth use vegetable broth.
• Soy Free – If you prefer the dish to be soy free and gluten-free, use coconut aminos or tamari instead. It is a good substitute for low-sodium soy sauce.
• Add More Vegetables – For a veggie packed dish, you can easily add in broccoli, zucchini, and squash. Peas, edamame, or bean sprouts are other vegetables that I would recommend adding.
• Ground Ginger – If you don’t have any ground ginger you can substitute with ground all spice.
• Oil – If you don’t have any sesame oil, you can use vegetable oil or any regular that you have.
• Spicy – For a hint of spice add in ½ teaspoon of red pepper flakes.
