Ingredients
Scale
Protein and Vegetables
- 1 lb ground turkey or chicken
- ¼ cup yellow onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated or minced
- 1 12-14 oz package coleslaw mix
Sauces and Seasonings
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce, tamari or coconut aminos
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 1-2 teaspoons sriracha or sambal oelek
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Garnishes and Serving
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Sriracha, for serving (optional)
- Sesame seeds and chopped cilantro, for garnish
- Cooked cauliflower rice, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Meat: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey or chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon or spatula. Season liberally with salt and pepper while cooking, until the meat is no longer pink.
- Add Vegetables and Sauce: Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, and coleslaw mix to the skillet. Stir in the soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and sriracha. Cook for another 5 minutes or until the cabbage is tender, stirring occasionally.
- Adjust Seasoning: Taste the mixture and add more soy sauce or sriracha if needed to suit your flavor preference.
- Plate and Garnish: Divide the egg roll mixture into bowls. Top with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and chopped cilantro. Optionally, serve with extra sriracha or chili crisp on the side.
- Serve with Cauliflower Rice (Optional): For a more substantial meal, serve the egg roll mixture over cooked cauliflower rice.
Notes
- Topping idea: Add a drizzle of yum yum sauce for creaminess and extra flavor.
- Protein substitutions: Swap ground turkey or chicken with ground pork or ground beef. For a vegan option, use tempeh or tofu.
- Add an egg: Amp up protein by creating a well in the skillet after cooking, add an egg, scramble until cooked, then serve.
- Serving size tips: The recipe serves 3, but it can serve 2 if you eat larger portions or double for leftovers or family meals.
