Egg Roll in a Bowl
Description
Egg Roll in a Bowl features ground beef cooked with ginger and garlic powder to bring warm, aromatic notes before combining with a coleslaw mix that softens as it cooks but retains slight texture. The addition of soy sauce adds a balanced salty and umami flavor, complementing the savory beef and fresh vegetables. Green onions finish the dish with a mild sharpness and color contrast.
The dish is cooked entirely in a skillet, allowing the flavors to meld while maintaining moisture. This method creates a hearty main course that captures the essence of an egg roll filling without any frying or dough, simplifying preparation and reducing fat content.
This recipe works well as a low-carb meal option or a simple, quick weeknight dinner. It can be served alone or with rice for those who want extra starch. The combo of beef and cabbage satisfies both protein and vegetable needs in one pan.
Leftovers store well refrigerated for 3 days and can be reheated gently in a skillet or microwave. Freezing is possible if thawed overnight, with soy sauce added before reheating to refresh flavors. This makes it convenient for meal prep or quick lunches.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef lean
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1 bag (14-16 ounces) coleslaw mix cabbage and carrot mixture, prepared
- ¼ cup green onion chopped
Instructions
- Crumble the ground beef into a large skillet and cook over medium heat until fully browned. Drain off any excess fat.
- Stir in the ground ginger, garlic powder, and ½ of the soy sauce.
- Add the coleslaw mix and stir well.
- Continue cooking the mixture over low to medium heat, stirring often, then add the remaining soy sauce as the coleslaw mix begins to soften.
- Cook to your desired doneness, then top with green onions and additional soy sauce if desired.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat individual portions in a microwave or on the stove over medium-low heat to retain texture.
- Freeze leftovers in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
- Adding soy sauce just before reheating helps revive the dish's flavor after storage.
