Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 pound ground pork (or ground chicken or turkey)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 (14 oz) bag coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
Sauces and Toppings
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce (optional)
- 1 teaspoon sriracha or chili garlic sauce (optional)
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the Oil and Cook Meat: Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 5–6 minutes.
- Sauté Aromatics: Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and diced onion to the skillet. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until the onion is soft and fragrant, stirring frequently.
- Add Vegetables: Stir in the coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots) and cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring often, until the cabbage wilts but remains slightly crisp.
- Incorporate Sauces: Pour in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and if using, hoisin sauce and sriracha. Stir everything well and cook for 1–2 more minutes to let the flavors meld together.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve the egg roll bowl warm, either on its own or over steamed rice or cauliflower rice for a more filling meal.
Notes
- Serve over steamed rice or cauliflower rice for a heartier meal.
- This recipe is great for meal prep and keeps well in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Adjust the spice level to your preference by adding more or less sriracha or chili garlic sauce.
- For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of regular soy sauce.
- You can substitute ground pork with ground chicken or turkey for a leaner option.
