Egg rolls are a beloved staple of Chinese takeout, but they often come with a high carb count due to their fried wrappers. Enter the “Egg Roll in a Bowl,” a delicious and healthier alternative that captures all the savory, umami flavors of a traditional egg roll without the carbs. This dish is perfect for those who want to enjoy the essence of an egg roll in a quick, easy, and nutritious way. Let’s dive into this delightful recipe!
Ingredients :
- 450 grams of ground sausage: Opt for a high-quality sausage to ensure the best flavor.
- 6 cups of coleslaw mix: A mix of shredded cabbage and carrots provides the perfect base for this dish.
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced: Fresh garlic enhances the savory notes.
- 1 tablespoon of minced ginger: Ginger adds a touch of warmth and spice.
- 1 tablespoon of soy sauce: This adds the essential salty and umami flavor.
- 1/4 cup of chopped green onions: These provide a fresh, slightly pungent garnish.
- 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame oil: For a rich, nutty finish.
Instructions :
- Cook the Sausage:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground sausage. Break it up with a spatula and cook until it is no longer pink, making sure to stir frequently to prevent burning. Do not drain the fat; it adds flavor and helps cook the vegetables.
- Add the Vegetables and Aromatics:
- To the skillet, add the coleslaw mix, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Stir well to combine with the sausage.
- Pour in the soy sauce, ensuring it evenly coats the sausage and vegetables.
- Cook Until Tender:
- Continue to cook over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage in the coleslaw mix has softened slightly but still retains some crunch.
- Finish and Garnish:
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Drizzle the toasted sesame oil over the top and mix well.
- Garnish with chopped green onions for a fresh burst of flavor.
- Serve:
- Serve the Egg Roll in a Bowl hot. If desired, drizzle with sriracha sauce for an extra kick of heat.
