All of the delicious flavors of your favorite fried Chinese restaurant appetizer come together in a lighter, faster, one skillet meal! This “Egg Roll in a Bowl” is a quick and healthy dinner that’s ready in about 20 minutes!

It’s like an egg roll without the wrapper!

I honestly can’t take credit for this genius idea, since I’ve seen it plastered all over the internet in recent years. After a craving for Chinese food hit me like a ton of bricks (do you ever get those?!), I decided that it was time to get in the kitchen and create my own Egg Roll in a Bowl!

Ingredients

• 1 lb. ground turkey breast (can substitute with ground chicken, ground beef, or ground pork)
• 1 sweet onion, diced
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil*
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic**
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• ¼ cup less sodium soy sauce
• 1 (16 ounce) bag coleslaw mix
• ½ cup grated or “matchstick” carrots
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce (optional, but recommended)

Instructions

1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground meat and cook, stirring, until no longer pink. Drain; return meat to skillet.
2. Add diced onion, sesame oil, and rice vinegar to the skillet. Cook, stirring, for a few more minutes (until onion is tender).
