Ingredients

Protein and Vegetables

  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil, divided
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • fine sea salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4 scallions, thinly sliced (separate white and green parts)
  • 3 large cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated or minced fresh ginger
  • 1 (14-ounce) bag cole slaw
  • 3 large eggs, whisked

Sauces and Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • Furikake seasoning (or toasted sesame seeds), for garnish

Optional

  • Rice or noodles, for serving

Instructions

  1. Cook the chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of neutral oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken and season with fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook the chicken, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until it is thoroughly browned and crumbled. Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a clean bowl and set aside.
  2. Cook the cole slaw and aromatics: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the same skillet along with the white parts of the scallions, minced garlic, and grated fresh ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute, stirring constantly until fragrant. Then add the bag of cole slaw to the skillet and sauté for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cole slaw starts to wilt slightly.
  3. Cook the eggs: Push the cole slaw to one side of the pan to create space. Pour the whisked eggs into the other side of the skillet and cook them, stirring occasionally, until scrambled and fully cooked, breaking them into small pieces as they cook.
  4. Combine all ingredients: Return the cooked ground chicken back to the skillet with the cole slaw and eggs. Add the hoisin sauce, low-sodium soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and the green parts of the scallions. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through. Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning with additional hoisin or soy sauce, if desired.
  5. Serve: Serve the egg roll bowl warm, either on its own or over steamed rice or noodles if preferred. Sprinkle with furikake seasoning or toasted sesame seeds for added flavor and texture. Enjoy your quick and delicious meal!

Notes

  • You can substitute ground chicken with ground turkey or pork as desired.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken with firm tofu and use vegetarian hoisin sauce.
  • Adjust the amount of hoisin and soy sauce to suit a lower sodium diet if needed.
  • Furikake seasoning adds a savory, umami crunch but toasted sesame seeds work well as a substitute.
  • Serve over rice for a more filling meal or enjoy as is for a lighter option.
