Make this deconstructed egg roll in a bowl for a fast, low-carb weeknight dinner. This one-pan meal uses ground pork and coleslaw mix to deliver all the savory flavor of traditional egg rolls without the wrapper.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce (ensure keto-friendly if needed)
  • 1/2 teaspoon five-spice powder
  • 1 (14 ounce) bag coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
  • 1/4 cup water or chicken broth
  • 2 green onions, sliced, for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. 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.
  3. Add the ground ginger and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, and five-spice powder. Pour this sauce mixture over the pork. Stir to coat the meat.
  5. Add the coleslaw mix and water or broth to the skillet. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  6. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage mixture wilts and softens slightly, about 5 to 8 minutes. You want the vegetables tender-crisp.
  7. Remove the skillet from the heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  8. Divide the egg roll in a bowl mixture among serving bowls. Garnish each serving with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before you serve.

Notes

  • For a different protein, substitute ground chicken or ground turkey for the pork.
  • If you are following a strict Paleo diet, use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce and ensure your hoisin sauce is compliant.
  • This recipe is excellent for meal prep; store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
