Introduction

Egg Roll In A Bowl is a quick and flavorful dish that captures all the deliciousness of an egg roll without the fuss of wrapping and frying. It’s a healthy, low-carb meal perfect for busy weeknights or anytime you crave something savory and satisfying.

A white bowl filled with a mixed stir-fry featuring three main layers: the base layer consists of light brown cooked ground meat, followed by a layer of pale, slightly translucent cabbage pieces with a soft texture, and the top layer has thin, bright orange carrot sticks scattered evenly with small green chopped scallions adding fresh color. Black chopsticks are picking up some of the stir-fry from the right side of the bowl. The bowl sits on a white marbled surface with a small wooden bowl holding more green scallions in the top left corner and a white and beige striped cloth partially visible in the bottom right corner. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 teaspoons sesame oil
½ cup minced onion
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger (or 1 teaspoon dried ginger)
1 pound ground turkey
1 (14-ounce) bag prepared coleslaw mix
¼ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
¼ cup chopped green onions
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Step 1: In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 2: Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3: Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes.
Step 4: Add the prepared coleslaw mix to the skillet and stir well. Cook until the cabbage begins to soften, about 3-5 minutes.
Step 5: Pour in the soy sauce and hoisin sauce, mixing thoroughly to combine all the flavors.
Step 6: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.

Tips & Variations

For a spicier version, add a teaspoon of chili garlic sauce or red pepper flakes when cooking the garlic and ginger.
Swap ground turkey for ground pork or chicken for different flavor profiles.
Use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free option.
Add shredded carrots or thinly sliced bell peppers with the coleslaw mix for extra color and nutrition.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave until warmed through. To keep the cabbage from becoming too soggy, avoid overcooking during reheating.
