A speedy, nutritious unwrapped Egg Roll Stir Fry loaded with shredded cabbage, grated carrots, ground protein, and punchy Asian-style seasonings. This dish works great when you're short on time but craving something tasty, giving you all those egg roll flavors without dealing with wrappers or extra carbs.

Essential Ingredients Breakdown

  • Ground meat: Turkey, chicken or pork work brilliantly as your flavorful foundation.
  • Green cabbage: Cut into thin strips for that signature crunch.
  • Carrots: Grated finely to add some sweetness and vibrant color.
  • Garlic and ginger: Fresh minced for that aromatic punch you can't skip.
  • Soy sauce: Delivers that deep savory goodness throughout the dish.
  • Sesame oil: Brings a toasty aroma that makes everything better.
  • Rice vinegar: Adds a gentle zing that brightens up the flavors.
  • Green onions: Chopped fresh as a finishing touch with mild bite.
  • Optional add-ins: Red pepper flakes for heat lovers and sesame seeds for a nice crunch.

Crafting Your Stir Fry

Cooking the Meat:
Get some vegetable oil hot in a big skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Throw in your ground meat, breaking it into smaller chunks while it cooks. Keep stirring until it's nicely browned and cooked through. If there's extra fat, go ahead and drain it off.
Building the Flavor Base:
Toss your diced onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger into the pan. Cook them for about 2-3 minutes until everything smells amazing and the onions start to soften up.
Incorporating the Vegetables:
Now add your cabbage strips and grated carrots to the mix. Keep cooking and stirring for around 5-7 minutes until the veggies soften but still have a bit of snap to them.
Blending the Sauce:
Grab a small bowl and mix your soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes if you want some heat. Pour this tasty mixture all over your stir fry and stir well so everything gets coated.
Final Touches:
Let everything bubble away for another 2 minutes so the flavors can get friendly. Take it off the heat, scatter some green onions and sesame seeds on top if you like. Serve it hot by itself or with some rice or cauliflower rice if you're watching carbs.

Meal Prep Magic

This meal works wonders for weekly prep. Just pop portions into containers and you've got tasty lunches ready to go. The best part? The flavors actually get better after sitting in the fridge overnight.

After many attempts at this dish, I've found that taking time to properly cook the garlic and ginger first really kicks up the overall taste. Those extra minutes make all the difference in getting everything just right.

Tasty Twists

Try swapping in crumbled tofu or tempeh if you want a meat-free option. You can toss in some sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, or snap peas for extra color and crunch. Need more heat? Go heavy on the red pepper or add a squirt of sriracha on top.

Keeping Leftovers Fresh

Pop any extras in a sealed container and keep them in your fridge for up to three days. When you're ready to eat, warm it up in a pan over medium heat, stirring now and then until it's hot. If you're in a rush, microwave it for 30 seconds at a time, giving it a stir between zaps.

This unwrapped stir fry gives you all those egg roll flavors you love in a no-fuss package. It's good for you, works with whatever ingredients you have on hand, and saves you time on busy nights. With its bold taste and mix of textures, it'll likely become a regular in your dinner lineup. Eat it right away or enjoy it just as much the following day.

Steps to Make It

Step 01

In a big pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add your ground meat, break it into small pieces, and cook until it's no longer pink and nicely browned. Drain out any extra oil.

Toss the garlic, onion, and freshly grated ginger into the skillet. Let it cook for 2–3 minutes until the onions soften and the smells are mouthwatering.

Step 04

Grab a small bowl and whisk the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and pepper flakes (if you’re into the spicy kick). Pour it into the skillet and stir everything together well.

Step 05

Cook for another couple minutes until everything is blended. Turn off the stove, scatter some sesame seeds and green onion on top, and dish it out.
