Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Aromatics
- 1 lb ground turkey or chicken
- ¼ cup yellow onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated or minced
Vegetables and Sauces
- 1 12-14 oz package coleslaw mix
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce, tamari or coconut aminos
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 1-2 teaspoons sriracha or sambal oelek
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 until no longer pink, about 6 minutes. Break the meat into small pieces using a wooden spoon or spatula and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add Aromatics and Vegetables: Stir in the chopped onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, and coleslaw mix. Pour in the low-sodium soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and sriracha or sambal oelek. Mix well and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender.
- Adjust Seasonings: Taste the mixture and add additional soy sauce or sriracha if desired for more saltiness or heat.
- Serve and Garnish: Portion the egg roll mixture into bowls. Top with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and chopped cilantro. Optionally, serve with extra sriracha or chili crisp, and cooked cauliflower rice for a complete meal.
Notes
- Topping idea – Add a drizzle of yum yum sauce for a creamy, flavorful twist.
- Protein swap – Use ground pork or beef instead of turkey or chicken. For a vegan alternative, replace meat with crumbled tempeh or tofu.
- Add an egg – For extra protein, make a well in the skillet after cooking, add an egg, scramble until cooked, then serve.
- Serving size – The recipe yields 3 servings. Double the ingredients for 4 servings or leftovers.
