Description

Egg Roll in a Bowl is a quick and healthy deconstructed version of the classic egg roll, combining ground meat, vegetables, and flavorful seasonings in a single skillet.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground meat (pork, turkey, chicken, or beef)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
  • 1/2 onion, finely diced
  • 1 large carrot, julienned or coarsely grated
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon green onions, chopped (optional, for garnish)
  • 1/4 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Meat:ย In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the ground meat and cook until no longer pink, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Add Vegetables:ย Stir in the diced onion and julienned carrot. Sautรฉ until the onion becomes translucent and the carrot is tender, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Incorporate Cabbage and Seasonings:ย Add the sliced cabbage, ground ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sugar to the skillet. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Continue to cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage reaches your desired level of tenderness.
  4. Serve:ย Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Variations:ย Feel free to substitute the ground meat with your preferred protein, such as ground pork, turkey, chicken, or beef. For a vegetarian option, consider using scrambled eggs or tofu.
  • Serving Suggestions:ย This dish can be enjoyed on its own or served over rice, cauliflower rice, or noodles for a more substantial meal.
  • Storage:ย Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through.
