My go-to meal for a fast, nutrient-dense dinner. Inside Out Egg Rolls (also called "Egg Roll in a Bowl") is like eating a classic egg roll filling, but healthier and made into a meal. Made with ground pork, coleslaw mix, and cauliflower rice, and just one large skillet, in under 20 minutes.
1tablespoonchopped fresh ginger about 1 inch chopped (or 1 teaspoon ground ginger)
4garlic clovesminced
1/2cupshelled edamame (optional), I like this for the texture and crunch
Instructions
Spritz a large skillet with oil. Over medium-high heat, on the stove-top, heat the skillet. Once hot, add the ground pork. Sprinkle the pork with salt (1-2 generous pinches of salt) and saute for 5 minutes, or until almost cooked through (almost all pink is gone).
Add the riced cauliflower and add a pinch of salt, again, stir to combine with the pork. Continue to saute for 5 minutes, stirring every couple of minutes to prevent sticking to bottom of the skillet.
Add the coleslaw mix to the skillet, along with a pinch of salt, then add the minced ginger and garlic. Stir to combine all the ingredients. Add the coconut aminos and continue to saute, stirring often, until the cabbage wilts down (about 4-5 minutes).
Add the edamame and cook for another 2 minutes.
Taste and add more salt, if needed. Stir, and adjust the salt until just right. The amount of salt added will depend on the coconut aminos or soy sauce used and your taste preference. The trick to seasoning this meal is to salt as you add each ingredient, building the flavor, and then to taste at the end.
Spoon into bowls (or on plates). Serve as-is. Or, serve on top of cooked brown rice or white rice (make the rice in the Instant Pot), cooked ramen or soba noodles, or spooned into butter or bibb lettuce for lettuce wraps.Add any toppings desired.
Notes
For spice, add 1/4 teaspoon (up to 1/2 teaspoon) red pepper flakes along with the ginger and garlic (depending on spice level desired). Topping Ideas
Chopped Radishes: I love to use radishes for a crunchy topping (how to store & use fresh radishes). Chop the radishes, sprinkle with salt, and sprinkle over each bowl.
Sliced Green Onions: Add sliced green onions over top.
Sesame Seeds: Sprinkle sesame seeds over top.
Hot Sauce: Add a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce for extra flavor.
Hardboiled Egg: If you have hardboiled eggs from meal prep in your fridge, cut a hardboiled egg in half and add to the bowl. Sprinkle with salt and sesame seeds, and, if desired, hot sauce.
Fried Egg: Top the bowl with a fried egg. The jammy, runny yolk pairs perfectly when cut with the bowl ingredients.
