What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Clean Eating: Egg Roll in a Bowl! For once in my life I’m taking the easy route to an old favorite. Making eggs rolls, using store bought wrappers, can be quite a labor-intensive ordeal. There’s the cutting of vegetables, marinating of meat, separating the wrappers and covering them with a moist towel, then heating the oil for deep-fried results. And there’s nothing wrong with that. I just wasn’t up to the task when what I really wanted was more of the amazing filling to devour. Don’t get me wrong, I still drizzled on the duck sauce, probably more than was necessary. But it’s all a matter of individual taste. Lean in and I’ll tell you a secret. I’d do it again.
EGG ROLL IN A BOWL
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound shredded pork, precooked
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
14-ounce bag coleslaw mix
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
Drizzle of sriracha
Green onions, for garnish
Duck Sauce, if desired
Instructions:
Warm the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions are translucent and the garlic is fragrant. Add the shredded pork, ginger, sea salt, black pepper, and sriracha sauce. Mix well. Cook until the pork is heated through. Add the coleslaw mix, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Sauté until the coleslaw is slightly tender. Divide into serving bowls. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds, drizzle of sriracha, and chopped green onions. Spoon prepared Duck Sauce over top, if desired.
A deconstructed egg roll is just the kind of genius and tasty move I’ve come to expect from you, Miss Gail.

I make a version of this – I don’t need the wrapper as I prefer all the veggies and flavors inside 🙂
