Here is a one-pan meal that is loaded with veggies and protein! This recipe for Egg Roll in a Bowl is a staple weeknight dinner in my household. It is so quick and easy to make. You can have this prepped, cooked, and on the table in about 20 minutes.
Ingredients and Substitutions:
- Ground turkey – You can use any ground meat that you like such as ground beef or ground chicken. I recommend using a lean meat so that you don’t have to drain off any fat.
- Minced garlic cloves – Adjust the amount depending on your personal preference.
- Green cabbage and shredded carrots – I typically use fresh cabbage and carrots in this recipe because I feel like I get more for my money. If you are short on time, you can use a bag of coleslaw mix instead.
- Low-sodium soy sauce – Try this recipe with coconut aminos for an even lower-sodium option.
- Brown sugar – If you want to make this recipe sugar-free, just leave out the brown-sugar. You can also substitute coconut sugar or white sugar. Add more or less depending on your desired flavor. 1 Tbsp of brown sugar does not add a huge amount of sweetness.
- Chili garlic sauce – This adds the heat! If you like things spicy, add more. My husband is not into spicy foods, so I usually add a tsp or less. You can find chili garlic sauce in the Asian food section next to the soy sauce usually. If you don’t have any on hand, you can try using sriracha instead.
- Sesame oil – Gives the dish a nutty flavor that makes it taste like a traditional egg roll. I don’t recommend substituting anything for the sesame oil, because you will lose that traditional flavor.
