Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb (450 g) lean ground turkey, chicken, or pork
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced or grated
  • 1 medium head green cabbage, thinly sliced (or 1 large bag coleslaw mix)
  • 2 medium carrots, julienned or grated
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1–2 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1–2 tsp sriracha or chili-garlic sauce (optional for heat)
  • 2 large eggs (optional, for extra protein and “egg roll” vibe)
  • 2–3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional garnish)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Prep your veggies: Slice the cabbage, grate the carrots, mince the garlic and ginger, and dice the onion. This makes the cooking process smooth and quick.
  2. Brown the protein: Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey (or your choice of protein). Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until no longer pink and lightly browned, about 5–7 minutes.
  3. Sauté aromatics: Add the onion to the pan. Cook 2–3 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and ginger. Cook 30–60 seconds until fragrant. Avoid burning the garlic.
  4. Add cabbage and carrots: Pile in the cabbage and carrots. It will look like a lot, but it wilts down fast. Toss to combine with the meat and aromatics.
  5. Season the mixture: Pour in soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and sriracha if using. Toss well. Cook 5–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender-crisp. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Optional egg step: Push the mixture to one side of the pan. Crack in the eggs on the empty side and scramble until just set. Fold the eggs into the cabbage mixture. This adds richness and classic egg roll flavor.
  7. Finish and garnish: Remove from heat. Stir in green onions. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Taste and tweak seasoning if needed—more soy sauce for salt, vinegar for brightness, or sriracha for heat.
  8. Portion for meal prep: Divide evenly into 4–5 airtight containers. Let cool slightly before sealing to reduce condensation.
