Description
Egg Roll in a Bowl is a tasty and nutritious twist on the classic Chinese-American egg roll. Instead of the traditional fried wrapper, this dish features a savory mixture of ground beef, cabbage, carrots, and seasonings simmered together in one skillet.
Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground beef (85/15)
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp fine sea salt, or to taste
- ¼ tsp black pepper, or to taste
- ½ medium onion, finely diced
- 1 medium carrot, julienned or coarsely grated
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- ½ tsp granulated sugar
- 1 Tbsp chopped green onion (optional)
- ¼ tsp sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the ground beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks.
2. Next, add the diced onion and julienned carrot to the skillet with the beef. Sauté for about 3 minutes, until the vegetables are slightly softened.
3. Stir in the minced garlic and thinly sliced cabbage, along with the ground ginger. Cook, stirring often, for about 5 minutes or until the cabbage is tender.
4. Pour in the soy sauce, sesame oil, and sprinkle in the granulated sugar. Stir everything well and cook for another 2 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat, then garnish with chopped green onion and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve your delicious Egg Roll in a Bowl warm and enjoy!
