Egg Roll in a Bowl

 

Ingredients

Protein Base

1 lb ground chicken or ground turkey

1 tbsp sesame oil

Vegetables

1 small onion, finely diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated

1 small head green cabbage, thinly sliced

1 cup carrots, shredded (or reduce for lower carbs)

Seasoning & Sauce

¼ cup coconut aminos (or low-sodium soy sauce if not soy-free)

1 tbsp rice vinegar

½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)

½ tsp black pepper

¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

For Serving

Green onions, sliced

Sesame seeds (optional)

Steps to Create

Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Add ground chicken or turkey and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks.

Add onion and cook 2–3 minutes until softened.

Stir in garlic and ginger; cook 30 seconds until fragrant.

Add cabbage and carrots, tossing to combine.

Pour in coconut aminos and rice vinegar.

Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.

Cook 5–7 minutes, stirring often, until cabbage is tender but not mushy.

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Remove from heat and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

Tips & Tricks

Slice cabbage thinly for classic egg roll texture.

Do not overcook—slight crunch keeps it authentic.

Add a splash of broth if the pan gets dry.

Delicious on its own or over cauliflower rice.
