Make a deconstructed egg roll quickly in one skillet. This recipe is low-carb and uses ground meat and cabbage for a fast weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 pound ground pork or ground turkey
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and chopped
  • 1 (16 ounce) bag coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce (optional, omit for strict keto)
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha or chili garlic sauce (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground five spice powder
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 green onions, sliced, for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the ground meat to the skillet. Break it up with a spoon and cook until browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Add the minced ginger and garlic to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Stir in the chopped water chestnuts and the coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage wilts down, about 4 minutes.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce (if using), Sriracha (if using), and five spice powder.
  6. Pour the sauce mixture and the 1/4 cup of water over the meat and vegetable mixture. Stir well to coat everything.
  7. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  8. Remove from heat. Serve immediately, garnished with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.

Notes

  • For a Whole30 compliant version, substitute the soy sauce with coconut aminos and omit the hoisin sauce.
  • If you prefer ground chicken or beef, substitute it for the pork or turkey. Adjust cooking time as needed.
  • To make this recipe even faster, use pre-minced garlic and ginger from a jar.
