Ingredients
  

Egg Roll in a Bowl Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground turkey or pork
  • 1 tablespoon neutral cooking oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 6 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 0.25 cup water or chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • salt and black pepper, to taste
  • crushed red pepper flakes, optional
  • sliced green onions and sesame seeds, for serving

Method
 

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey or pork and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and cooked through.
  2. Push the cooked meat to one side of the skillet. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger to the empty side and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring, until fragrant and slightly softened.
  3. Stir in the shredded cabbage and carrots. Pour in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and water or broth, tossing until everything is evenly coated.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the cabbage is tender-crisp.
  5. Remove the lid and cook for another 1–2 minutes if there is excess liquid. Turn off the heat, drizzle in the toasted sesame oil, and season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste.
  6. Serve hot, topped with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Enjoy as is or over cauliflower rice for a heartier meal.

Notes

For a spicier version, stir in chili garlic sauce or sriracha. You can also swap in ground chicken or beef, or use coleslaw mix as a shortcut for cabbage and carrots.
