All the classic egg roll flavors deconstructed into a quick skillet meal with ground pork, cabbage, and Asian seasonings.

# What You'll Need:

→ Protein

01 - 1 lb ground pork, chicken, or turkey

→ Vegetables

02 - 4 cups cabbage slaw mix
03 - 1 small onion, thinly sliced
04 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
05 - 1 inch piece fresh ginger, grated
06 - 2 green onions, sliced

→ Sauce

07 - 3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
08 - 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
09 - 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
10 - 1 teaspoon sriracha or chili sauce, optional

→ Optional Toppings

11 - 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
12 - Extra sliced green onions
13 - Chili flakes to taste

# Directions:

01 - Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add ground meat and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, approximately 5 to 6 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
02 - Add sliced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the pan. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant and onion becomes soft.
03 - Stir in the cabbage slaw mix. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until cabbage is wilted but retains slight crunch.
04 - In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and sriracha if using. Pour sauce into the pan and toss to combine, cooking for 1 to 2 additional minutes.
05 - Remove from heat. Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and additional toppings as desired. Serve hot or portion into meal prep containers for future use.

  • Meal Prep Hero: The flavors actually improve overnight, making leftovers a treat for lunch the next day.
02 -
  • Prep all your ingredients before turning on the stove; the cooking process moves very quickly once the meat is browned.
