Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil (Can use avocado oil for a higher smoke point.)
- 1 lb Ground Chicken (Can substitute with ground turkey or pork.)
- 5 cups Cabbage, thinly sliced (Use green or napa cabbage for the best results.)
- 1 cup Carrots, julienned (Shredded or chopped bell peppers can be used instead.)
- 1 tbsp Ginger, minced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
Sauces & Seasonings
- 2 tbsp Coconut Aminos or Low Sodium Soy Sauce (Tamari sauce is suitable for a gluten-free option.)
- 2 tsp Sesame Oil
- 1 tbsp Rice Wine Vinegar
- 2 tbsp Hoisin Sauce (Check for gluten-free varieties.)
- 2 tsp Chili Garlic Sauce (Adjust to taste.)
Garnishes
- Sesame Seeds (For serving.)
- Green Onions (For serving.)
Instructions
- Heat Oil and Brown Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess grease and set the cooked chicken aside.
- Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil, then add the thinly sliced cabbage and julienned carrots. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are golden and tender.
- Add Aromatics: Stir in the minced ginger and garlic; cook for an additional minute until fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Combine Ingredients and Sauces: Return the cooked ground chicken to the skillet. Pour in the coconut aminos (or low sodium soy sauce), sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, hoisin sauce, and chili garlic sauce. Toss everything together thoroughly to coat all ingredients evenly and heat through.
- Garnish and Serve: Serve the egg roll bowl immediately, garnished with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- Substitute ground chicken with ground turkey or pork as desired.
- For a gluten-free version, use tamari sauce instead of soy sauce and check for gluten-free hoisin sauce.
- Adjust chili garlic sauce amount based on preferred spice level.
- Vegetables can be varied by adding shredded bell peppers or substituting carrots with other crunchy veggies.
- This dish is naturally low-carb and can be paired with cauliflower rice for a fuller meal.
