Egg Roll in a Bowl Recipe Cooking Guide

  • Start by prepping all your ingredients. Finely dice the onion, julienne or coarsely grate the carrot, and mince the garlic. Thinly slice the cabbage and set everything aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the lean ground beef and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  • Once the beef is cooked through, add the diced onion, grated carrot, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender and fragrant.
  • Stir in the thinly sliced cabbage, ground ginger, and granulated sugar. Continue cooking for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is wilted but still has a bit of crunch.
  • Pour in the low sodium soy sauce and sesame oil, stirring well to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Once everything is well combined and heated through, remove the skillet from the heat. Serve your Egg Roll in a Bowl Recipe hot, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
