How to Make Egg Roll in a Bowl
Step 1: Cook the Meat
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook for about 5-6 minutes, breaking it apart as it browns.
Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables
Push the turkey to one side of the pan and add the onion with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, then stir in the carrots, garlic, and ginger, cooking for another 2 minutes.
Step 3: Add Cabbage and Seasonings
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Stir in the shredded cabbage, soy sauce, rice vinegar, salt, and pepper. Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 12-15 minutes, until the cabbage softens.
Step 4: Finish & Serve
Remove from heat and drizzle with toasted sesame oil. Serve warm, garnished with green onions, sesame seeds, or sriracha mayo.
