Ingredients
Scale
Protein and Oils
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Aromatics
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
Vegetables
- 1 bag (14 ounces) coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
- 2 green onions, sliced
Sauces and Seasonings
- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 teaspoon sriracha (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Heat Oils and Sauté Onion: In a large skillet over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Add the diced yellow onion and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until it softens and becomes translucent.
- Add Garlic and Ginger: Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned to release their aromatic flavors.
- Cook Ground Chicken: Add the ground chicken to the skillet. Use a spoon or spatula to break the meat apart and cook until fully browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess liquid from the pan if necessary.
- Incorporate Sauces and Seasonings: Stir in 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce, 1 teaspoon sriracha if using, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the chicken and infuse flavor.
- Add Coleslaw Mix: Add the 14-ounce coleslaw mix of shredded cabbage and carrots to the skillet. Toss everything together and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cabbage softens but retains a bit of crunch.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle the sliced green onions and sesame seeds over the top. Serve the egg roll bowls warm on their own or alongside steamed rice or cauliflower rice if preferred.
Notes
- For extra crunch and texture, top with crispy wonton strips before serving.
- Ground turkey or pork can be used as substitutes for ground chicken for different flavor variations.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave to preserve texture.
