Description
A quick, low-carb, deconstructed egg roll filling made in one skillet using ground pork and cabbage, seasoned with savory Asian flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil or coconut oil
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and chopped (optional, for crunch)
- 1 (16 ounce) bag coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage and carrots
- 1/4 cup coconut aminos or tamari (for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (check label for low sugar)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the ground pork to the skillet. Break the meat apart with a spoon and cook until browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain off any excess grease if necessary.
- Stir in the ground ginger, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the chopped water chestnuts (if using) and the coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the pork.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage has wilted but still has some bite, about 5 to 8 minutes. You want it tender-crisp.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos (or tamari), rice vinegar, and sesame oil.
- Pour the sauce mixture over the pork and cabbage mixture. Stir everything together until the sauce has coated the ingredients, about 1 minute.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Divide the mixture into serving bowls.
- Garnish each serving with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
- For extra crunch, you can lightly pan-fry 1/4 cup of crushed pork rinds separately and sprinkle them over the finished bowl.
- If you do not have coconut aminos, use low-sodium soy sauce, but be aware this may slightly increase the carb count depending on the brand.
- Adjust the amount of ginger and garlic to suit your taste preference.
