A quick and easy egg roll-inspired bowl featuring crispy browned cabbage, ground pork or turkey, and a tangy sriracha drizzle for bold flavor without the fuss of wrappers or deep-frying.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground pork or turkey
  • 4 cups shredded green cabbage (about half a medium head)
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 12 tablespoons sriracha sauce, for drizzling
  • 2 stalks green onions, sliced thinly for garnish
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil (vegetable or canola) for cooking

Instructions

  1. Shred the cabbage and carrots finely, dice the onion, mince garlic, and grate fresh ginger (about 10 minutes prep).
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of neutral oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add ground pork or turkey, breaking into small pieces, and cook until browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Transfer meat to a bowl and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, add diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir frequently and cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened but not browned.
  4. Add shredded cabbage and carrots to the pan. Stir well to coat. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 6-8 minutes, allowing edges of cabbage to brown and crisp by letting it sit undisturbed for short intervals.
  5. Return cooked meat to the pan. Pour in soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Stir well and cook for another 2-3 minutes to meld flavors and reduce liquid slightly.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.
  7. Transfer to serving bowls. Top with sliced green onions and drizzle with sriracha sauce to taste.

Notes

Avoid stirring constantly during cabbage cooking to allow crispy edges to form. Use a heavy-bottomed skillet or cast iron for even browning. Do not overcrowd the pan to prevent steaming. Use fresh ginger and garlic for best flavor. Sriracha drizzle is essential for the final flavor punch. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos. Leftovers reheat best in a skillet to maintain crispiness.
