How to Make Egg Roll Stir Fry

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1 lb ground pork, ground turkey, or chicken
• 1 small green cabbage, thinly sliced (or 1 bag coleslaw mix)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger, freshly grated
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce or sriracha (optional for heat)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Green onions, sliced
• Sesame seeds for garnish

This recipe is so versatile that you can basically add any meat you want and turn it into just a basic stir-fry. I can see making this with steak, chicken, ground beef, or even turning it into a breakfast by adding a fried egg on top. The possibilities are endless here.

Step 1: Brown the meat

In a large skillet, cook the ground pork (or turkey) over medium-high heat until browned. Break it apart with a wooden spoon and season with a little salt and pepper.

Step 2: Add aromatics

Stir in the diced onion, garlic, and ginger. Cook for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.

Step 3: Add the cabbage

Add sliced cabbage or a bag of coleslaw mix to the skillet. It will look like a lot at first, but it cooks down quickly. Continue cooking for about 5 minutes until tender.

Step 4: Pour in the sauce

Stir in your soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and chili garlic sauce if using. Toss well and let everything cook together for another 2–3 minutes so the flavors can blend.

Step 5: Finish and serve

Remove from heat and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve warm!
