Egg Roll in a Bowl is a high protein, low carb meal option that the entire family will crave! Made all in one pan, you simply combine seasoned ground chicken with coleslaw veggies (cabbage and carrots) and some Asian spices for a bite that packs a big punch of flavor.
This is a beautiful and tasty dish. Jam-packed with veggies and spices, you can get the take-out flavor you're craving for a fraction of the cost. You can serve it over lettuce wraps or with wonton chips - a personal favorite of mine.
Ingredients
- Ground Chicken - Ground chicken has great macros - it's lean with tons of protein. You can sub this for ground turkey, beef, or pork if you prefer.
- Coleslaw - You can always shred cabbage and carrots yourself, or just save some time and buy the pre-packaged bag.
- Sesame Oil - A hint of sesame oil is key in the flavor profile we're going for. Don't go overboard, however; this stuff is super strong!
- Hoisin Sauce/Sriracha - Hoisin sauce gives a bit of sweetness to counter with the spicy sriracha. Both are must-haves!
Variations and Substitutions
Korean Beef Bowls: For a similar Asian-themed dinner, try Korean Beef Bowls! Made with lean beef, and served over rice - these are so addicting.
How to Make Egg Roll in a Bowl
This is one of my favorite meals because you essentially just dump everything into a large skillet. It's pretty foolproof!
- Start out by seasoning your ground chicken and adding it to a large skillet. As it begins to cook, use your spatula to break it up into small pieces.
- Once the chicken is almost done, move it to the edge of the skillet and dump in your aromatics - that's our garlic and ginger.
- Then, pour in your coleslaw mix, hoisin sauce, sriracha, and soy sauce. At this point, you can stir everything together.
- After the coleslaw softens, you're done! Serve this with fresh green onion on top.
