Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey or chicken
- ¼ cup yellow onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated or minced
- 1 12-14 oz package coleslaw mix
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce, tamari or coconut aminos
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 1-2 teaspoons sriracha or sambal oelek
- 2 green onions, sliced
Optional Garnishes & Serving
- Sriracha, for serving (optional)
- Sesame seeds and chopped cilantro, for garnish
- Cooked cauliflower rice, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the ground meat: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey or chicken and cook until no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes. While cooking, break meat into smaller pieces using a wooden spoon or spatula and season liberally with salt and pepper.
- Add aromatics and vegetables: Add chopped yellow onion, minced garlic, and grated fresh ginger to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook briefly until fragrant.
- Incorporate coleslaw mix and sauces: Add the coleslaw mix, low-sodium soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and sriracha or sambal oelek to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for another 5 minutes or so, until the cabbage is tender.
- Adjust seasoning and serve: Taste the mixture and add more soy sauce or sriracha if needed. Portion the egg roll mixture into bowls and top with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and chopped cilantro. Serve with additional sriracha or chili crisp as desired. Optionally, serve with cooked cauliflower rice.
Notes
- Topping idea: Drizzle with yum yum sauce for added creaminess and flavor.
- Protein swaps: Use ground pork, ground beef, or for a vegan option, tempeh or tofu.
- Add an egg: For extra protein, create a well in the skillet, add an egg, scramble until cooked, then serve.
- Serving size: Recipe yields 3 servings but can be doubled for a family of 4 or leftovers.
