Hearty ground sausage is combined with crunchy cabbage and carrots and bathed in soy sauce, ginger, and garlic sauce, creating a deliciously umami-rich profile.
Ingredients:
- Ground sausage – You could also use ground beef or turkey.
- Sweet onion – If you’re short on time, use onion powder instead of fresh onions.
- Low-sodium soy sauce
- Minced roasted garlic – If you can’t find this or don’t have time to make your own, you can use ½ teaspoon garlic powder instead.
- Ground ginger
- Sesame oil – This adds a great flavor, but you could leave it out, and this recipe would still work.
- Coleslaw mix
- Green onions – Optional but they add a deliciously mild onion flavor.
Optional Ingredients
This recipe has a great flavor profile, but if you want to build on that, here are a few ideas.
- Jasmine rice – Bulk up this meal by adding a bed of rice under your egg roll in a bowl.
- Hot sauce – Add a few dashes of your favorite hot sauce for some spice.
- Sesame seed garnish – In addition to the sliced green onions, add a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.
- Cilantro – Add a bit of chopped cilantro for a burst of extra freshness.
Recipe:
Brown your sausage. In a large, deep skillet over medium heat, add your sausage. Break the sausage up with a spatula and allow it to brown (about 10 minutes). Remove the grease from the pan and add the onion. Sauté until tender.
Add the coleslaw mix (without the dressing packet) to the skillet and stir until well combined. Set aside.
Prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, make your sauce by whisking together the soy sauce, minced roasted garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Set aside.
Combine. Pour the sauce into the skillet and stir, continuing to cook for about 5 minutes or until the cabbage has wilted but still has a slight crunch. Garnish with sliced green onion.
This fun dish is a twist on the classic appetizer. You get all the best eggroll flavors in one simple bowl. Whether you have it for dinner or take it on the go for lunch, this meal will keep you full and satisfied.
