Ingredients
  

For the Main Dish
  • 1 lb Lean Ground Beef Consider swapping with ground chicken, turkey, or pork for variety.
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil Perfect for sautéing; sesame oil can be used for an extra flavor boost.
  • ½ tsp Fine Sea Salt Enhances the overall taste; always adjust to your preference.
  • ¼ tsp Black Pepper Adds a hint of mild spice; optional based on your taste buds.
  • ½ medium Onion Brings sweetness and depth; shallots are a great milder alternative.
  • 1 medium Carrot Adds a pop of color and sweetness; swap for shredded coleslaw mix for convenience.
  • 3 cloves Garlic Infuses aromatic flavor; garlic powder (1 tsp) works as a quick substitute.
  • 3 cups Green Cabbage The star of this dish for its texture; Napa cabbage can be an excellent softer option.
  • 1 tsp Ground Ginger Adds warmth and a hint of spice; fresh ginger enhances the flavor vibrantly.
  • ¼ cup Low-Sodium Soy Sauce Offers that beloved umami taste; coconut aminos provide a gluten-free alternative.
  • 2 tsp Sesame Oil Contributes a wonderful nutty flavor; do watch the amount as it’s potent.
  • ½ tsp Granulated Sugar Balances flavors; consider eliminating for lower carb options or use a sugar substitute.
  • 1 Tbsp Chopped Green Onion Garnish that brings freshness; regular onion can easily replace if necessary.
  • ¼ tsp Sesame Seeds Adds visual appeal and a nutty touch; entirely optional based on your preference.

  • Large Skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Egg Roll in a Bowl
  1. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Look for the oil to shimmer as it warms up, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Add 1 pound of lean ground beef to the skillet. Cook it for about 5 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula as it browns. Season it with ½ teaspoon of fine sea salt and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper.
  3. Stir in ½ medium finely diced onion and 1 medium julienned carrot into the skillet with the beef. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until the onion is translucent and the carrot softens.
  4. Incorporate 3 minced garlic cloves into the mixture and sauté for an additional 30 seconds.
  5. Add 3 cups of thinly sliced green cabbage, 1 teaspoon of ground ginger, ¼ cup of low-sodium soy sauce, and 2 teaspoons of sesame oil. Stir and sauté for 5-7 minutes.
  6. Sprinkle in ½ teaspoon of granulated sugar, stirring to combine. Continue to sauté for another 1-2 minutes.
  7. Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with 1 tablespoon of chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds before serving.
