Print Recipe

This quick and easy Egg Roll in a Bowl recipe is a healthier twist on the classic Chinese appetizer. Made in one skillet in under 30 minutes, it’s packed with flavor and skips the deep-fried wrapper. Perfect for a low-carb meal or a quick weeknight dinner, this dish features ground turkey (or pork), fresh cabbage, and a savory sauce made with pantry staples like soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar.

Ingredients

▢ 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
▢ 1 pound ground turkey (or pork)
▢ 1 small sweet onion, finely diced
▢ 1 cup shredded carrots
▢ 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
▢ 1 teaspoon finely minced fresh ginger
▢ ¼ cup chicken broth
▢ 1 small head cabbage (about 8 cups shredded)
▢ 3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
▢ 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
▢ ¾ teaspoon salt
▢ ½ teaspoon black pepper
▢ 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

For Serving (Optional):
▢ Cooked white rice
▢ Green onions (green parts only, thinly sliced)
▢ Toasted sesame seeds
▢ Sriracha mayo

Instructions

  1. Cook the Turkey: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until almost cooked through, about 5-6 minutes.
  2. Sauté the Veggies: Push the turkey to one side of the pan and add the onion and remaining tablespoon of oil. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add shredded carrots, garlic, and ginger, and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
  3. Deglaze the Pan: Pour in the chicken broth and scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
  4. Add Cabbage and Seasonings: Add the shredded cabbage, soy sauce, rice vinegar, salt, and pepper. Stir well, cover, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the cabbage reaches your desired tenderness.
  5. Finish with Sesame Oil: Remove from heat and stir in the toasted sesame oil.
  6. Serve: Serve over cooked white rice (if using) and top with green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and sriracha mayo, if desired.

Notes

  1. Customize the Protein: Swap ground turkey for ground pork, chicken, or even plant-based crumbles for a vegetarian option.
  2. Add More Veggies: Toss in bell peppers, mushrooms, or zucchini for extra nutrition.
  3. Meal Prep Friendly: This dish stores well in the fridge for up to 4 days, making it a great option for meal prep.
  4. Spice It Up: Add a dash of chili flakes or extra sriracha mayo for a spicy kick.
