  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Protein

  • 1 pound ground chicken or ground pork

Vegetables & Aromatics

  • 4 green onions, thinly sliced, whites and greens separated
  • 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 16 ounces coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage

Sauces & Garnishes

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil or to taste
  • Chopped fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Brown the meat: Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken or pork and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
  2. Add aromatics and cabbage: Stir in the whites of the green onions, grated fresh ginger, minced garlic, and the coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage. Cook while stirring occasionally until the cabbage becomes tender, about 5 minutes.
  3. Season: Pour in the soy sauce and drizzle the sesame oil over the mixture. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 1 minute to let the flavors meld.
  4. Serve and garnish: Divide the cooked mixture into bowls. Garnish each serving with the green parts of the sliced green onions, fresh chopped cilantro, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Serve warm and enjoy your egg roll in a bowl!

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, substitute ground meat with crumbled tofu or tempeh.
  • You can use tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free option.
  • Adjust sesame oil quantity to taste as it has a strong flavor.
  • Feel free to add shredded carrots or bell peppers to increase vegetable variety.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
