Make deconstructed egg rolls quickly in one pan. This recipe uses ground meat and cabbage with a savory sauce for a fast, flavorful meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 pound ground pork or ground chicken
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and chopped
  • 1 (16 ounce) bag coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Optional: 2 cups cauliflower rice
  • Optional garnish: sliced green onions, sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the ground pork or chicken to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Add the chopped water chestnuts and the coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the meat mixture.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey or maple syrup, sriracha, and black pepper to create the sauce.
  7. Pour the sauce over the meat and vegetable mixture in the skillet. Stir everything together until the cabbage wilts slightly and the sauce coats all ingredients, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  8. If using cauliflower rice, stir it in now and cook until heated through.
  9. Remove from heat. Serve immediately, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

  • For a Keto or Low Carb version, skip the honey and use a sugar substitute equivalent, or omit the sweetener entirely.
  • You can substitute ground turkey or ground beef for the pork or chicken.
  • To make this a Paleo meal, use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
