Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450g) ground pork, chicken, or turkey
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 4 cups (300g) coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage
  • 2 medium carrots, julienned or shredded
  • ¼ cup (60ml) soy sauce (use tamari or coconut aminos for gluten-free)
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Sriracha or chili paste (optional, for spice)
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds, for garnish

Directions

  1. Cook the Meat:
    Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground meat and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain any excess fat if needed and set aside.
  2. Sauté Aromatics:
    In the same skillet, heat sesame oil. Add diced onion, garlic, and ginger, cooking for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add Vegetables:
    Stir in the coleslaw mix and carrots. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
  4. Combine and Season:
    Return the cooked meat to the skillet. Stir in soy sauce, rice vinegar, and Sriracha (if using). Cook for another 2 minutes to combine the flavors.
  5. Serve and Garnish:
    Remove from heat and sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot, optionally with a drizzle of extra sesame oil or a fried egg on top.

Notes

  • Protein Options: Ground pork is traditional, but ground chicken, turkey, or beef work just as well.
  • Vegetable Variations: Add shredded zucchini, mushrooms, or bell peppers for extra variety.
  • Low-Sodium Alternative: Use low-sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos to reduce salt content.
  • Make It Keto: Skip the carrots and use extra cabbage for an ultra-low-carb version.
  • Meal Prep: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave.

Egg Roll in a Bowl is a wholesome, satisfying dish that’s ready in under 30 minutes. It’s perfect as a standalone meal or served with cauliflower rice or lettuce wraps for a complete low-carb feast!
