Make all the flavors of your favorite takeout egg rolls without the wrapper. This simple, one-pan recipe uses ground meat and coleslaw mix for a fast, low-carb weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 pound ground pork or ground turkey
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) bag coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar or sweetener of choice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (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 it is fully browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Add the ground ginger and minced garlic to the skillet with the meat. Cook for 1 minute until you can smell the garlic.
  4. Pour in the coleslaw mix. Stir everything together. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes until the cabbage starts to wilt slightly but still has some crunch.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and black pepper.
  6. Pour the sauce mixture over the meat and vegetables in the skillet. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  7. Remove the skillet from the heat. Divide the mixture into bowls. Garnish each serving with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

  • For a keto friendly meal, skip the sugar or use a keto-approved sweetener.
  • You can substitute ground beef or chicken for the pork or turkey.
  • If you want a little heat, add 1/2 teaspoon of sriracha or a pinch of red pepper flakes when you add the sauce.
  • This recipe works well for meal prep; store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
