Eggroll in a Bowl

I'm not a believer in denying myself food I love, but even I can admit that sometimes I over indulge, eat too many carbs, have too many fried things. This is a great fake-out to take-out with all the yummy taste of a fried egg roll and none of the guilt. I was shocked by how much my kiddos loved this dish! So it is 100% family approved.

Ingredients

  • 2 TBSP Sesame Oil

  • 1 bunch (6-8) green onions, sliced, greens and whites divided

  • 1 small red onion, sliced

  • 5 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 lb ground pork

  • 2" fresh ginger, grated

  • 3 TBSP Sriracha, divided

  • 1/2 head of Napa cabbage, sliced in ribbons

  • 1/2 head red cabbage, sliced in ribbons

  • 4 TBSP Soy or Tamari sauce

  • 2 TBSP rice wine vinegar

  • White Pepper, to taste

  • Salt, to taste

  • Black Sesame seeds

  • 1/4 cup mayo

Directions

  1. Heat sesame oil in a large skillet at medium heat.

  2. Add white parts of green onion, red onion and garlic, sautè until red onion is softened.

  3. Add pork, ginger and 1 TBSP of Sriracha, cook until pork is browned through.

  4. Add cabbages, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and salt & pepper to taste. Cook, stirring often until cabbage is softened.

  5. In a small bowl combine the mayo, 2 TBSP Sriracha (or more if you like it spicy), whisk together until smooth and salt to taste. Add 1 TBSP water to thin and make more of a drizzle consistency.

  6. To serve, spoon into bowls and drizzle with the spicy mayo sauce, a sprinkle of sesame seeds and green onions. And of course a little extra Sriracha if you like it extra spicy!

Extras

You can use any ground meat you prefer, this would be equally yummy with ground chicken or turkey but may require a little extra oil.

You can add fried wonton strips as a garnish, it'll add that satisfying crunch you get from a fresh fried egg roll

Need some extra protein? Add a fried egg on top!
