Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 1 lb ground turkey or chicken
Vegetables & Aromatics
- ¼ cup yellow onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated or minced
- 1 package (12-14 oz) coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
- 2 green onions, sliced
Seasonings & Sauces
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari, or coconut aminos)
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 1–2 teaspoons sriracha or sambal oelek
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional Garnishes & Sides
- Sriracha for serving (optional)
- Sesame seeds for garnish
- Chopped cilantro for garnish
- Cooked cauliflower rice for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Cook meat: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey or chicken and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon or spatula, until it is no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes. Season liberally with salt and pepper while it cooks.
- Add aromatics and veggies: Stir in the chopped onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, and the coleslaw mix into the skillet with the cooked meat. Add soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and sriracha or sambal oelek for heat and flavor.
- Cook until tender: Continue cooking the mixture, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until the cabbage is tender and slightly wilted. Taste and adjust the seasoning by adding more soy sauce or sriracha if desired.
- Serve and garnish: Portion the egg roll mixture into bowls. Top each serving with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and chopped cilantro. Optionally, serve with additional sriracha or chili crisp on the side and pair with cooked cauliflower rice for a complete meal.
Notes
- You can substitute ground pork or beef if preferred.
- For a vegetarian version, replace the meat with crumbled tofu or tempeh.
- Adjust spiciness by varying the amount of sriracha or sambal oelek.
- Using low-sodium soy sauce helps control the salt content.
- Serve over cauliflower rice for a gluten-free, low-carb option.
