The Food Factor: Egg Roll in a Bowl

Love egg rolls but want to avoid the fast-food drive-through? Takeout gets a healthy makeover with this easy Egg Roll in a Bowl recipe! It’s got all the signature flavors of an eggroll – crunchy cabbage and ground meat flavored with ginger and soy sauce – without being deep-fried.

Egg Roll in a Bowl

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp. oil
• 1 lb. ground turkey or pork

Directions:

1. Wash hands with warm water and soap, scrubbing for at least 20 seconds.
2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
3. Add the ground meat to the skillet and break it up until it is cooked through and has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees on a food thermometer. Drain any fat from the meat.
4. Add garlic powder, ginger, and soy sauce to the meat, and stir to combine.
5. Add coleslaw mix to the cooked meat. Cook until vegetables are tender.
6. Use a utensil to make a large hole in the center of the mixture in the skillet. Crack the egg in the open area and scramble it until it is cooked through.
7. Stir all ingredients together and serve.
8. Store leftovers in the refrigerator within 2 hours.
