Seriously Good Egg Roll in a Bowl

4 servings
I’m obsessed with this egg roll in a bowl recipe, which is basically everything we love about egg rolls turned into a lighter, healthier, but still super flavorful bowl. For a lower-carb option, serve it as is (thanks to the veggies, it’s hearty enough). Or you can serve it over cilantro lime rice, cauliflower rice, quinoa, or noodles! If you are short on time, you can use a bag of coleslaw mix to make this, simply substitute it for the cabbage and carrots in the recipe below.

Ingredients

  • toasted sesame oil
    1 ½ tbsp
  • ground chicken or ground turkey
    1 lb
  • shredded cabbage
    4 c
  • shredded carrots
    1 c
  • red bell pepper

    thinly sliced

    1
  • green onions

    thinly sliced

    3
  • oyster sauce
    2 tbsp
  • low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
    1 tbsp
  • honey
    1 tsp
  • chopped cashews or peanuts
    3 tbsp
  • chopped cilantro
    ¼ c
  • salt and fresh ground black pepper
    to taste
  • cooked rice

    noodles, or quinoa, optional

  • sriracha or homemade spicy mayo

    optional

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat 1 ½ tablespoons of toasted sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Add the ground chicken (or turkey) and cook until no longer pink, breaking it into crumbles, about 10 minutes. When it is no longer pink and cooked through, toss in the cabbage, carrots, bell pepper, and green onion, and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. At first, it will seem like there are too many vegetables, but with a little time, they will wilt down considerably. If you are unable to stir them, cover the skillet with a lid for a minute to help them wilt down a little quicker.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl, stir 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon of honey.

  4. 4

    When the vegetables are tender, and the chicken is cooked through, pour over the sauce and add about half of the cilantro. Toss well. Taste, then adjust with salt and pepper (I usually add a pinch of each).

  5. 5

    Serve over rice (with a spoonful of any juices left in the skillet), then finish with cashews, cilantro, and a drizzle of sriracha or spicy mayo on top.
