Egg Roll Bowl

I was very excited to come across this recipe. It definitely filled the void of cravings since we have not really eaten out since March. (With the exception of In-N-Out drive thru. And yes, you can get a burger that is keto friendly there! But that's another post.)

Egg Roll Bowl by Keto A to Z
Ingredients:

• 1 lb. Ground pork (Or any ground meat. I'm sure I'll try this with ground turkey at some point.)
• 1/2 lb. Coleslaw mix (Or as much as you desire. We kept it to half a pound to keep it keto friendly for our serving size.)
• 1 tbsp. Sesame oil (We used avocado oil as that's what we have.)
• 1/4 cup diced onion (You can add as much onion as you want. We kept it to 1/4 cup to keep it keto friendly.)
• 1 tbsp of minced garlic (which came out to about 2 large cloves)
• 5 large mushrooms, diced
• 1/2 a red bell pepper, diced
• 1/4 cup Chicken broth or bone broth
• 1/3 cup Soy sauce (We used reduced sodium from Trader Joe's.)
• Salt and pepper to taste (I didn't use a lot of salt as the soy sauce was salty enough for me.)
• Red chili flakes to taste (optional)
• 3 Green onion stalks chopped (optional)
• 2 tsp of toasted sesame seeds

Instructions:

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado or sesame oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Once the skillet has come to temperature, add the diced onion. Saute the onion for 2-3 minutes until it begins to brown.

1. Add in the minced garlic, and stir constantly, cooking for 30 seconds.

1. Add the ground pork in the skillet and cook until browned. Add black pepper to the pork. Mix often to incorporate the onions and garlic.

1. Once the pork has browned, add the mushrooms and bell pepper.

1. Once the bell peppers start to get tender, add the half bag of coleslaw mix to the skillet. Stir well to mix the pork in with the cabbage. Add salt and pepper and chili flakes at this time if using.

1. Add the ¼ cup of chicken broth next into the skillet to help tenderize the cabbage. 

1. Once most the liquid has cooked off, add ⅓ cup of soy sauce to the skillet.

1. At this point I turned up the heat a little as to create a glaze with the soy sauce. Mix all of the ingredients and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring often.

1. Serve with fresh chopped green onions on top if you'd like.

We sprinkled on sesame seeds at the end for a little texture. So good!
