Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Seasonings

  • 1 lb lean ground beef (85/15)
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt, or to taste
  • ¼ tsp black pepper, or to taste

Vegetables

  • ½ medium onion, finely diced
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned or coarsely grated
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced

Flavorings and Garnishes

  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • ½ tsp granulated sugar
  • 1 Tbsp chopped green onion (optional, for garnish)
  • ¼ tsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Brown the Ground Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook for about 5 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and no longer pink. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Sauté Onions and Carrots: Stir in the diced onion and grated carrot. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and translucent.
  3. Add Garlic: Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning and to release the garlic’s flavor.
  4. Add Cabbage and Seasonings: Add the thinly sliced cabbage, ground ginger, low-sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, and granulated sugar to the skillet. Continue sautéing for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and slightly wilted.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve warm and enjoy your healthy Egg Roll in a Bowl.
