Description

This Egg Roll in a Bowl recipe delivers all the flavors of a classic egg roll without the wrapper! It’s a quick, healthy meal packed with veggies, ground meat, and a savory Asian-inspired sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground chicken, or turkey
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 small head green cabbage, shredded (about 4 cups)
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Green onions, chopped for garnish
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground meat and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add the onion, garlic, and ginger to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant and the onion is soft.
  • Stir in the shredded cabbage and carrots, cooking for 4-5 minutes until softened but still crisp.
  • Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes, stirring to combine. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • Swap cabbage for a bag of coleslaw mix to save time.
  • For a keto option, use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
  • Add sriracha or hoisin sauce for a flavor boost.
