Egg Roll in a Bowl

Print Recipe

A deconstructed egg roll in a bowl featuring savory ground pork, crisp cabbage, and carrots, seasoned with ginger, garlic, and soy sauce for a quick low-carb meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground pork (or ground turkey/chicken)
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced (about 1 cup)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 tbsp)
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 4 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced (about half a medium head)
  • 1 cup shredded carrots (about 2 medium carrots)
  • 2 tbsp gluten-free soy sauce (or tamari)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp chili garlic sauce (optional)
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add sesame oil.
  2. Add ground pork and cook, breaking up with a spatula, until no longer pink, about 5–6 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. Push meat to one side, add diced onion, garlic, and ginger; sauté until fragrant, about 1–2 minutes.
  4. Add cabbage and carrots to the pan. Stir well to combine and cook until vegetables begin to soften, about 4–5 minutes.
  5. Pour in soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili garlic sauce (if using). Stir to coat evenly and cook another 1–2 minutes.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional soy sauce, salt, or pepper as needed.
  7. Remove from heat, garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Swap ground pork for ground chicken or turkey for a lighter version.
  • Use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce for a soy-free option.
  • Leftovers keep well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Add a drizzle of sriracha or hoisin sauce for extra flavor.
