A quick and healthy one-pan meal that delivers all the classic flavors of an egg roll—savory ground meat, crunchy cabbage, garlic, ginger, and a flavorful soy-based sauce—without the wrapper. Perfect for busy weeknights and low-carb lifestyles.
Equipment
- large skillet or wok
- spatula
- cutting board
- knife
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground pork, turkey, or chicken
- 4 cups shredded green cabbage or coleslaw mix
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 3 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp rice vinegar (optional)
- 1 tbsp sriracha or chili sauce (optional)
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- 1 tsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground meat and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess fat if needed.
- In the same skillet, sauté onion until softened. Add garlic and ginger and cook for 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
- Add shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix and cook for 5–7 minutes until tender but still slightly crisp.
- Return cooked meat to the skillet. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Stir well to combine everything evenly.
- Taste and adjust seasoning. Add chili sauce if desired. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds before serving warm.
Notes
For best texture, cook the cabbage over medium-high heat so it stays slightly crisp. Fresh garlic and ginger give the strongest flavor. Adjust soy sauce gradually to control saltiness. This dish stores well and is great for meal prep, with flavors improving the next day.
