Ingredients
Protein
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 3 large eggs, whisked
Vegetables and Aromatics
- 4 scallions, thinly sliced (separate whites and greens)
- 3 large cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon grated or minced fresh ginger
- 1 (14-ounce) bag cole slaw
Sauces and Oils
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil, divided (such as vegetable or canola oil)
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Seasonings
- Fine sea salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
- Furikake seasoning or toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
Optional
- Rice or noodles, for serving
Instructions
- Cook the chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of neutral oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken and season with fine sea salt and freshly-ground black pepper. Cook, breaking the meat up with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked through. Transfer the cooked chicken to a clean bowl and set aside.
- Sauté aromatics and cole slaw: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil along with the white parts of the scallions, minced garlic, and grated fresh ginger. Stir constantly and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the bag of cole slaw and continue to sauté for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cole slaw is slightly wilted.
- Cook the eggs: Push the cole slaw mixture to one side of the skillet. Pour the whisked eggs into the empty side and cook them, stirring and breaking them into small pieces, until fully scrambled and cooked through.
- Combine all ingredients: Return the cooked ground chicken to the skillet. Add the hoisin sauce, low-sodium soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and the green parts of the scallions. Toss or stir everything together until evenly combined and heated through. Adjust seasoning with additional hoisin or soy sauce, if desired.
- Serve: Spoon the egg roll mixture over cooked rice or noodles if using. Sprinkle generously with furikake seasoning or toasted sesame seeds. Serve warm and enjoy your quick and delicious egg roll bowl!
Notes
- You can substitute ground chicken with ground turkey or pork for a different flavor.
- For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken and use extra firm tofu or tempeh.
- Adjust the soy and hoisin sauce quantities based on your preferred saltiness and sweetness.
- Furikake adds a nice umami crunch but toasted sesame seeds work well as an alternative garnish.
- Make it low-carb by serving the bowl without rice or noodles and adding extra vegetables if desired.
