# Instructions:
01 -
Mince 2 cloves garlic and grate 1 tbsp fresh ginger. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp sesame oil, and 1 tbsp sriracha (if using). This prepares your flavor base for the Low-Carb Egg Roll in a Bowl: Easy 15-Minute Recipe.
02 -
Heat 1 tbsp avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb ground pork (or ground chicken/turkey). Break it up and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Drain any excess fat.
03 -
Add 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion to the skillet with the cooked pork. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened. Then, add the 6 cups pre-shredded coleslaw mix. Stir well to combine with the pork and onion.
04 -
Stir in the minced 2 cloves garlic and grated 1 tbsp fresh ginger with the pork and vegetables. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant, ensuring everything is well combined. This builds the aromatic foundation for your Low-Carb Egg Roll in a Bowl: Easy 15-Minute Recipe.
05 -
Pour the prepared sauce mixture (1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp sriracha) over the ingredients in the skillet. Toss everything together until the vegetables are coated and slightly softened but still retain some crunch, about 2-3 minutes.
06 -
Remove the skillet from heat. Taste and adjust salt and black pepper if needed. Divide the Low-Carb Egg Roll in a Bowl: Easy 15-Minute Recipe among 4 bowls. Garnish each serving with sliced 2 green onions and 1 tsp sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
Feel free to swap ground pork for ground chicken, turkey, or even firm tofu (crumbled) for a different protein option. Adjust cooking time accordingly.
02 -
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
03 -
For an extra boost of healthy fats and creaminess, top your bowl with a drizzle of sriracha mayo or a sprinkle of chopped peanuts.
04 -
Adjust the amount of sriracha to your preferred spice level, or omit it entirely for a milder dish. A pinch of red pepper flakes can also add heat.
