Ingredients

Scale

Here’s what you’ll need to make Egg Roll in a Bowl with Chicken:

  • 1 lb (450g) ground chicken (Halal-certified)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil (or olive oil)
  • 3 cups shredded cabbage (green cabbage or coleslaw mix)
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced or grated
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free option)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha or hot sauce (optional for spice)
  • 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Ingredient Highlights

  • Ground Chicken: A lean protein choice that’s perfect for adding flavor and texture to this dish while keeping it healthy and satisfying. Ensure the chicken is Halal-certified for dietary preferences.
  • Cabbage: A key ingredient that gives the dish the same crunch and texture you’d find in an egg roll, but without the need for frying.
  • Sesame Oil: Provides a nutty, aromatic flavor that enhances the overall taste of the dish. It’s commonly used in Asian cuisine and adds an authentic touch.
  • Soy Sauce: Adds saltiness and umami to balance the flavors of the chicken and cabbage. Tamari can be used for those avoiding gluten.
  • Ginger and Garlic: These fresh ingredients infuse the dish with a fragrant and warming flavor, giving it that signature egg roll taste.
  • Sriracha and Honey: The sriracha adds heat (optional), while honey provides a slight sweetness that contrasts with the savory ingredients.

Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these simple steps to make the perfect Egg Roll in a Bowl with Chicken:

Cook the Chicken:

  1. Heat the Pan: Start by heating the sesame oil (or olive oil) in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Add the ground chicken to the pan, breaking it apart with a spoon or spatula. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and browned. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Once cooked, set the chicken aside on a plate.

Prepare the Vegetables:

  1. Sauté Onion and Garlic: In the same skillet, add a little more sesame oil if needed. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3 minutes, or until softened. Add the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for another 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  2. Add the Cabbage: Stir in the shredded cabbage and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage begins to soften but still retains some crunch. If the cabbage starts to stick, add a splash of water or soy sauce.

Combine the Ingredients:

  1. Add the Chicken Back in: Once the cabbage is slightly tender, return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Stir everything together to combine.
  2. Season the Dish: Pour in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha (if using), and honey. Stir well to ensure the cabbage and chicken are evenly coated in the sauce.
  3. Adjust Seasonings: Taste and adjust with more soy sauce, salt, or pepper to your liking. If you prefer a sweeter flavor, add a little more honey.

Serve the Egg Roll in a Bowl with Chicken:

  1. Garnish and Serve: Once everything is cooked and well-mixed, transfer the dish to bowls. Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds for extra flavor and crunch.
  2. Enjoy! Serve your Egg Roll in a Bowl with Chicken hot and enjoy the delicious, healthy twist on traditional egg rolls.
