Description
A quick and healthy one-pan meal that delivers all the savory flavors of a classic egg roll without the wrapper. Packed with ground meat, cabbage, and a sesame-soy sauce, this dish is low-carb, protein-rich, and ready in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground pork, beef, or turkey
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 (14 oz) bag coleslaw mix (or 4 cups shredded cabbage and carrots)
- 3 tbsp soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1/2 tsp salt (to taste)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes or 1 tsp sriracha (optional)
- 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 3–4 minutes.
- Add garlic and ginger; cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add ground meat, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Stir in soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.
- Add coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage and carrots. Stir well to combine.
- Cook 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cabbage is tender but slightly crisp.
- Taste and adjust seasoning, adding extra soy sauce, vinegar, or hot sauce as desired.
- Garnish with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and a drizzle of sriracha if using. Serve hot.
Notes
- Ground pork is most traditional, but turkey, chicken, or beef also work.
- Use coconut aminos for a gluten-free and paleo-friendly option.
- Coleslaw mix saves time, but fresh shredded cabbage gives extra crunch.
- Add a scrambled egg to the pan for more protein.
- Great for meal prep—stores and reheats well.
