Ingredients
Stir Fry Sauce
- 3 Tbsp coconut aminos
- 1 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 1-2 tsp hot sauce
Egg Roll Stir Fry
- 1 Tbsp avocado oil
- 1 lb ground pork or beef
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp dried ginger or 1 Tbsp fresh
- 1/2 head green cabbage sliced into thin 1-2" strips
- 1 cup shredded carrots about 2 large carrots
- 3 green onions, sliced thin for garnish
- sesame seeds for garnish
Spicy Mayo Sauce
- 1/4 cup mayo
- 1-2 tsp hot sauce
Instructions
- Combine the stir fry sauce ingredients in a small bowl by whisking with a fork, and set aside.
- Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium to medium high heat until warm. Add the pork, garlic, salt, pepper, and ginger, and cook until the pork is broken into crumbles and browned (about 5 minutes).
- Add the sliced cabbage and shredded carrots, and continue to stir fry until the cabbage is tender (about 5 more minutes). Stir in the "Stir Fry Sauce", and continue cooking for just a minute to combine the flavors.
- Make your "Spicy Mayo Sauce" by mixing the mayo and hot sauce in a small bowl until combined.
- Scoop the "Egg Roll" stir fry into bowls and top with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and a drizzle of Spicy Mayo Sauce. Enjoy!
Notes
- Ground pork and ground beef work well in this recipe - but you could use any ground meat, like chicken or turkey. Shrimp works great too, just chop it up into bite sized pieces before cooking.
- Don't have cabbage on hand, or can't find it? Swap it for a bag of coleslaw mix - which is just a blend of different colors of cabbage and shredded carrots. It's an easy shortcut substitution you can make in a pinch.
- No rice wine vinegar? Swap it for apple cider vinegar, or omit it altogether. It adds flavor, but isn't essential.
- Toasted sesame oil adds great nutty flavor, but can be left out if needed.
- Another great topping for this dish: Everything But the Bagel seasoning! We get ours from Trader Joe's. Adds two types of sesame seeds, and some extra onion-garlic flavor.
- For the mayo, I love the Primal Kitchen Foods brand. They use an avocado oil base, and it has a great mild flavor - and I'm not usually a mayo fan!
- Any hot sauce will do, but sriracha works great if you have a brand you love!
- Fancy Plating Hack:
- Spoon your Spicy Mayo Sauce into a small plastic bag, cut a small corner off of the bottom, and squeeze out in a pretty zig-zag pattern. We eat with our eyes first after all! But of course you can plop a spoonful on top and it will taste just as great
