Description
A quick, one-pan meal inspired by classic egg roll filling—savory ground meat, cabbage, and bold seasonings tossed together for a comforting and flavorful dish ready in under 20 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef or ground turkey
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 14–16 ounces coleslaw mix or 6 cups finely sliced cabbage
- 1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce or tamari
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- A pinch of ground cloves (optional)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 3 green onions, sliced
- Sesame seeds for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef or turkey and cook, breaking it apart, until browned and no longer pink.
- Drain excess grease if needed. Add minced garlic and stir for 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
- Add coleslaw mix or cabbage and toss to combine with the meat.
- Pour in soy sauce and add hot sauce, ground ginger, onion powder, and ground cloves (if using). Stir well to coat.
- Cover skillet and cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until cabbage softens to desired tenderness.
- Remove from heat, stir in toasted sesame oil, and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Serve warm, topped with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
- Use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce for a paleo-friendly version.
- Top with crispy egg roll wrapper pieces for added crunch.
- Chopped water chestnuts can be added for texture.
- Adjust spice level with more or less hot sauce or chili oil.
