Ingredients
Scale
Sauce
- ½ cup coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 5 garlic cloves, minced (about 2 1/2 tablespoons)
- 1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh ginger (or 1 teaspoon ground ginger)
- ½ teaspoon Chinese 5-spice powder
Main Ingredients
- 1–2 teaspoons avocado oil, coconut oil, or olive oil
- 8 green onions, sliced; white/light green and dark green parts separated
- 1 pound lean ground chicken or turkey (93% lean / 7% fat)
- 2 12-ounce bags broccoli slaw mix or coleslaw mix
Optional Toppings
- Black sesame seeds
- Sriracha
- Sliced avocado
- Fresh cilantro leaves
Instructions
- Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, combine the coconut aminos, toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and Chinese 5-spice powder. Whisk thoroughly to combine the flavors, then set aside.
- Cook the aromatics: Place a large skillet over medium heat and let it heat up. Add the oil of choice to the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom evenly. Add the white and light green parts of the sliced green onions and cook for 2–3 minutes until they soften, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
- Cook the ground meat: Add the ground chicken or turkey to the skillet. Use a large wooden spoon to break it up evenly. Cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally until the meat is cooked through and no longer pink.
- Add the slaw and sauce: Increase heat to medium-high, then add the broccoli slaw mix and the prepared sauce to the skillet. Stir well and cook for 6–7 minutes until the slaw becomes crisp-tender or reaches your desired texture, stirring occasionally to mix everything evenly.
- Finish and serve: Stir in the dark green parts of the green onions, then remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the egg roll bowl in individual bowls and garnish with optional toppings like black sesame seeds, sriracha, sliced avocado, and fresh cilantro leaves as desired.
