This Egg Roll in a Bowl gives you all the savory, garlicky, gingery goodness of an egg roll without the wrapper or frying oil. Plus it's fast to pull together making it a perfect weeknight meal! Fast, cozy and flexible, serve it over rice, wrapped in a cabbage leaf or straight out of the skillet.
Ingredients
- (1 lb) Ground Pork
- (1/2 tsp (start light, can always add more)) Sea salt
- (1/4 tsp) Black pepper
- (3 cloves) Garlic, minced
- (2 tsp) Fresh ginger, grated (or 1 tsp ground ginger)
- (1-2 tsp) Fish sauce (can skip but then increase soy sauce to ¼ cup)
- (14 to 16 oz) Shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix (no dressing)
- (3 Tbsp) Tamari or soy sauce
- (1 Tbsp) Rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- (1 tsp) Toasted sesame oil
- (1 (2 if you love eggs)) Brown Eggs, 1 doz
- (1 to 2 tsp) Sriracha or sambal (optional)
- (2) Green onions, sliced
Directions
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Cook ground pork breaking it up as it cooks and seasoning with salt & pepper.
- Add garlic, ginger and fish sauce, stir 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add cabbage, tamari and vinegar, stir thoroughly. Cook 5 to 7 minutes until cabbage is tender but not mushy. Add 1 to 2 tbsp water if the pan gets dry.
- Make a well in the center, add egg and scramble, cooking until set.
- Turn off heat. Stir in sesame oil and sriracha if using. Top with green onions. Taste and add a splash more tamari if needed.
- Serve over rice, rice noodles or cauliflower rice. Optional toppings include won ton strips, sesame seeds or sunflower seeds.
Notes:
If you love veggies you can add some sliced carrot, onion, shredded Brussel sprouts and more cabbage.
You could also skip the shredded cabbage in the pan, leave your washed cabbage leaves whole and wrap the filling up in the cabbage leaves like egg rolls!
Top with our favorite, no-seed-oils chili crisp.
Use our Trifecta seasoning for a salt-pepper-garlic shortcut.
Use a Grate Plate to make quick work of garlic and ginger!
Ground beef works really well in this recipe too.
