Ingredients

1 lb ground beef
2.5 pounds green cabbage (1 medium head)
1-2 lbs carrots
2 tbsp sesame oil
1/4 cup coconut aminos (see post for note on using soy sauce instead)
1 tsp salt (plus more for meat)
1 tsp pepper (plus more for meat)
1 1/2 tsp garlic, ground (plus more for meat)
1-2 Tbsp ginger, ground (to taste)

Instructions

Saute meat in large skillet, season to taste with salt, pepper, garlic.
Shred carrots and cabbage (separately) in a food processor or with a cheese grater.
Add carrots and sesame oil to meat and stir well. Cook until carrot start to soften.
Add remaining ingredients to pan and stir well. Continue cooking until cabbage starts to soften. Season with ginger to taste. More ginger will cause the dish to be much hotter.
Serve alone or in a lettuce wrap.

Notes

** If you use soy sauce instead of the coconut aminos, add 1 tablespoon of honey to the dish.

Can you eat this egg roll bowl cold?

Yes! We actually love taking this on the road with us when we travel, because it's still delicious cold! I pre-wash lettuce shells and we take a container of this in our picnic basket for a healthy meal on the go!

How do you reheat your egg roll bowl?

Since we don't own a microwave, we heat things up on the stove or in the oven. For this dish, we throw a bit of butter or coconut oil in the skillet and toss the egg roll bowl until it's warm. Be careful to stir well while you're heating or it will stick to the pan!

Can you freeze this recipe?

Yes! You can either freeze the finished recipe after cooking, or you can just freeze the shredded cabbage and carrots. That's what I do. Then I just dump the vegetables into the pan and finish the recipe fresh. This way I can save the shredding step, but still have the texture of the fresh meal.

To reheat the frozen meal: Just thaw overnight in the fridge and pan fry to the desired temperature.
