Instructions
- Heat sesame oil: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat to prepare for browning the beef.
- Brown the ground beef: Add 1 pound of ground beef to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring and crumbling the meat, until completely browned with no pink remaining.

- Cook vegetables: Continue cooking for approximately 2 minutes, just until the vegetables are warmed through but still retain their crispness.
- Finish with coleslaw: Remove the skillet from heat, then stir in the remaining 1 cup of coleslaw mix to add extra crunch and freshness.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Add crispy wonton strips on top if desired for extra texture and flavor. Serve immediately.
