Description
A quick and healthy one-skillet meal inspired by egg rolls, but without the deep frying. Ground meat, cabbage, carrots, and savory seasonings are stir-fried together for a satisfying and flavorful dinner.
Ingredients
1 lb ground meat of your choice
1 onion, chopped
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced (or 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger)
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 (14-ounce) bag coleslaw mix
1/2 cup matchstick carrots
3 green onions, sliced
Kosher salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a large skillet or wok, brown the ground meat over medium heat, breaking it apart as it cooks. Once browned, drain any excess fat.
- Stir in the chopped onion, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, until the onion is tender.
- Add the coleslaw mix and matchstick carrots to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
- Stir in the minced ginger, soy sauce, and hoisin sauce. Continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes, until everything is well combined and heated through.
- Add the sliced green onions and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot as is, or with rice, noodles, or cauliflower rice.
Notes
If using fresh ginger, ensure it’s finely minced for an even distribution of flavor.
Try substituting ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
This dish pairs well with cauliflower rice for a lower-carb alternative.
Add sriracha or chili flakes if you prefer a spicier flavor profile.
