Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 lb ground meat (pork, beef, chicken, or turkey)

Vegetables

  • 4 cups green cabbage, shredded
  • 1 cup carrots, grated or thinly sliced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Seasonings and Oils

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari/coconut aminos for gluten-free/soy-free)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Ground Meat: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add your choice of ground meat. Break it apart with a spatula and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed to keep the dish light.
  2. Sauté Aromatics and Vegetables: Add diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the skillet, stirring frequently until fragrant and softened. Then toss in the shredded cabbage and carrots, cooking until wilted but still crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
  3. Stir in Seasonings: Pour in soy sauce and a drizzle of sesame oil, mixing everything thoroughly. Taste and adjust seasoning by adding more soy sauce or chili flakes if desired. Cook for another minute to let the flavors meld together.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle chopped green onions on top. Serve immediately, enjoying your warm and tasty Egg Roll in a Bowl straight from the skillet.

Notes

  • Use fresh cabbage for better texture and to avoid sogginess.
  • Don’t overcook the vegetables; keep them crisp for good texture contrast.
  • Cook over medium-high heat to develop caramelization and deepen flavors.
  • Grate carrots finely to ensure they cook quickly and blend smoothly.
  • Use low-sodium soy sauce if you want to control salt without losing umami flavor.
