    • 1 medium carrot, julienned or shredded
    • 4–5 green onions, sliced
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated (or 1 teaspoon ground ginger)
    • 1/4 cup soy sauce (use a gluten-free soy sauce for gluten-free version)
    • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
    • 1 tablespoon coconut aminos (optional, for a slightly sweeter flavor)

Ingredient Highlights

  • Ground Chicken: The chicken provides a lean protein that absorbs all the delicious seasonings, making it the perfect base for this dish. You can also use turkey or beef as alternatives.
  • Sesame Oil: Adds a rich, nutty flavor and is commonly used in Asian cooking to give the dish an authentic taste.
  • Shredded Cabbage: Provides that signature crunch that’s typically found in egg rolls. Cabbage is a great low-calorie, high-fiber vegetable that balances out the rich flavors.
  • Soy Sauce and Rice Vinegar: These ingredients bring the salty, tangy flavor profile that’s characteristic of egg rolls. You can opt for a gluten-free soy sauce or coconut aminos if needed.
  • Oyster Sauce: This ingredient adds depth and sweetness, giving the dish that savory umami flavor that’s typical in Asian cuisine.

Instructions

Making Egg Roll In A Bowl with Chicken is simple and quick. Follow these easy steps to prepare this delicious dish:

Prepare the Chicken and Vegetables:

  1. Heat the Pan: Begin by heating 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Add the ground chicken to the pan and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until it is fully cooked and browned (about 6-7 minutes). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Add the Garlic and Ginger: Once the chicken is cooked through, add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan. Cook for another minute or until fragrant.
  4. Add the Vegetables: Add the shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, and sliced green onions to the skillet with the chicken. Stir everything together and cook for about 5-6 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften but still have a little crunch.

Make the Sauce:

  1. Mix the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, coconut aminos (if using), and oyster sauce. Pour this mixture over the chicken and vegetables in the pan, stirring to combine.
  2. Simmer: Allow the sauce to simmer for a few minutes until the cabbage and carrots are tender but not overcooked. The cabbage should still have a nice crunch to mimic the texture of an egg roll filling.
  3. Adjust Seasonings: Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning with extra soy sauce, rice vinegar, or a pinch of salt and pepper if needed. If you prefer a bit of spice, you can add some sriracha or chili flakes at this stage.

Serve and Garnish:

  1. Serve: Once the vegetables are cooked and the flavors are well combined, remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the Egg Roll In A Bowl hot, garnished with sesame seeds, fresh cilantro or parsley, and a squeeze of lime juice for extra freshness.
  2. Optional Garnishes: For an added kick, drizzle with a little sriracha or sprinkle some chili flakes over the top.
