Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey or chicken
- 1/4 cup yellow onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated or minced
- 1 (12-14 oz) package coleslaw mix
- 1/4 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 Toppings and Sides
- Sriracha, for serving (optional)
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
- Chopped cilantro, for garnish
- Cooked cauliflower rice, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Meat: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey or chicken and cook until no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes. Break the meat into small pieces with a wooden spoon or spatula and season liberally with salt and pepper while cooking.
- Add Aromatics and Vegetables: Stir in chopped onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, and coleslaw mix. Pour in soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and sriracha. Cook for an additional 5 minutes or until the cabbage is tender, stirring occasionally.
- Adjust Seasonings: Taste the mixture and add more soy sauce or sriracha to suit your preference.
- Serve and Garnish: Portion the egg roll mixture into bowls. Top each with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and chopped cilantro. Serve with extra sriracha, soy sauce, or chili crisp if desired. Optionally serve over cooked cauliflower rice for a complete meal.
Notes
- For extra creaminess and flavor, drizzle with yum yum sauce as a topping.
- Swap ground turkey or chicken with ground pork or beef; for a vegan version, use tempeh or tofu.
- To increase protein, create a well in the skillet after cooking and scramble in an egg until cooked through before serving.
- The recipe yields 3 servings but can be doubled for a family of 4 or to have leftovers.
- Season liberally with salt and pepper during cooking to enhance flavor.
