Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 4 cups green cabbage, shredded
- 1 cup carrots, shredded
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by heating olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the ground chicken. As it cooks, break it apart with a spoon, letting it brown slightly. This step builds flavor, so give it a few extra moments until it turns golden in places.
- Next, stir in the minced garlic and freshly grated ginger. The fragrance at this stage is incredible—warm, slightly spicy, and deeply inviting. Let them cook for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
- Add the shredded cabbage and carrots directly into the pan. At first, it may seem like a lot, but the vegetables quickly soften and reduce in volume. Toss everything together so the chicken and vegetables are evenly mixed.
- Pour in the soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Stir well, letting the sauce coat every strand of cabbage. The mixture will begin to glisten, and the flavors will come together beautifully.
- Let everything cook for another 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally. The cabbage should be tender but still slightly crisp, giving the dish that signature egg roll texture.
- Finish by adding sliced green onions and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if you like a bit of heat. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Serve your Egg Roll Bowl with Chicken and Cabbage hot, straight from the pan, when it’s at its most flavorful.
