Ingredients Needed
Ground Meat. I used pork in this recipe, but any ground meat of your choice will work.
Vegetables. I added freshly shredded cabbage, juliene carrots and diced onions. Store bough slaw is fine too, just add diced onions.
Coconut Aminos. I want to make this recipe as healthy as possible, so I used coconut aminos to avoid any soy. This is a preference thing. You can substitute with regular soy sauce.
Garlic. Fresh cloves of garlic will give that rich pungent flavor.
Sesame oil and sesame seeds. Sesame gives the distinct flavor to the egg roll bowl with a little crunch.
Seasonings. The only dry seasoning necessary are salt and ginger. You can substitute fresh ginger, but I had groudn ginger on hand, so that's what I used.
How To Make the Recipe
Step 1 Prepare all your ingredients. Shred all cabbage into small strips, Use a box grater to juliene the carrots. Dice the onions.
Step 2 Add sesame oil to the pan and heat on medium. I like to use a cast iron pan for all my cooking. Add the diced onions and saute until translucent or slightly browned. Add the garlic and let the aroma fill the room and slightly cook the garlic, just a minute or so.
Step 3 Then add the shredded carrots to the sauteed onions to slightly cook through, just a few minutes.
Step 4 Add the ground meat, salt and ground ginger to the pan and mix. Break apart the ground meat and cook until there is no more raw meat pieces.
Step 5 Mix in the shredded cabbage with coconut aminos and allow the cabbage to cook through for 5-10 minutes.
Step 6 Once the cabbage has slightly softened, remove from heat. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds to enjoy.
