You get all the savory, satisfying flavors of a classic egg roll without the wrapper. This one-pan dish cooks fast, making it a perfect low-carb dinner idea for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or sesame oil
  • 1 pound ground pork, turkey, or chicken
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon five-spice powder
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) bag coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce (ensure it is low-carb if strictly Keto)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • Optional garnish: Sliced green onions, sriracha, or chopped peanuts

Instructions

  1. Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the ground meat to the skillet. Break it apart with a spoon and cook until it is browned completely, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir in the ground ginger, garlic powder, and five-spice powder. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the entire bag of coleslaw mix to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the meat.
  5. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage wilts down to your preferred tenderness, about 5 minutes. You want it tender-crisp.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and toasted sesame oil.
  7. Pour the sauce mixture over the meat and vegetables in the skillet. Toss everything together until the sauce evenly coats the mixture. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce is hot.
  8. Remove from heat. Serve immediately, topped with your choice of green onions or sriracha for extra flavor.

Notes

  • For a Whole30 Egg Roll Bowl, substitute the soy sauce with coconut aminos and omit the hoisin sauce, adding a bit more rice vinegar for tang.
  • This recipe works well for meal prep. Divide the mixture into airtight containers and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • If you prefer a richer flavor, substitute half the ground meat with crumbled bacon during the initial cooking step.
