Here’s a quick, low-carb, and flavorful Egg Roll in a Bowl recipe—think all the taste of an egg roll without the wrapper:
Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 1 lb ground pork or chicken
- 1 small head of cabbage, thinly sliced (~4 cups)
- 2 carrots, shredded
- 3 green onions, sliced
- 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced (or 1 tsp ground ginger)
- 3 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp sriracha or chili sauce (optional, for heat)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: sesame seeds, extra green onions
Instructions
- Cook the Meat:
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add ground meat and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Add Aromatics:
- Stir in garlic and ginger. Cook 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
- Add Vegetables:
- Add cabbage and carrots.
- Stir-fry for 5–7 minutes until cabbage is wilted but still slightly crunchy.
- Season:
- Add soy sauce, sesame oil, sriracha, salt, and pepper.
- Stir well and cook another 1–2 minutes so flavors meld.
- Serve:
- Transfer to a serving bowl.
- Top with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
💡 Tips:
- Swap pork/chicken for ground turkey or beef.
- For extra crunch, add water chestnuts or bell peppers.
- Serve over rice or cauliflower rice for a heartier meal.
If you want, I can give an Air Fryer version where you cook the meat and veggies faster with even more caramelized flavor. Do you want me to do that?
