Ingredients

Scale

Protein

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

Vegetables

  • 4 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, minced

Seasonings & Oils

  • 3 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari/coconut aminos for gluten-free)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

Garnishes

  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Shred the cabbage and carrots finely. Dice the onion, mince the garlic and ginger, and have your ground meat ready.
  2. Cook the Ground Meat: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and brown the ground meat until fully cooked and slightly crispy. Drain excess fat if desired for a leaner dish.
  3. Sauté Aromatics: Add the diced onions, garlic, and ginger to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
  4. Add the Veggies: Stir in the shredded cabbage and carrots. Cook, stirring frequently, until the cabbage wilts but remains slightly crunchy, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Season the Bowl: Pour in the soy sauce and drizzle the sesame oil over the mixture. Stir well to combine and cook for another 3-4 minutes until heated through and flavors meld.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Top with sliced green onions and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds before serving immediately.

Notes

  • Use fresh cabbage for the best texture and flavor.
  • Do not overcook the vegetables to preserve crispness and nutrients.
  • Adjust soy sauce gradually to avoid oversalting.
  • Heat the skillet well to properly brown the meat and enhance flavor.
  • Ground pork offers the most authentic egg roll flavor.
