How to Make Easy Inside Out Egg Roll in a Bowl

Heat a large skillet over medium heat, adding the sesame seed oil. Once hot, toss in the minced garlic and sliced onions; sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Add the ground pork or turkey to the skillet and brown for about 5 minutes, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain off any excess grease.
Stir in the bagged coleslaw, carrot matchsticks, chopped red cabbage, onion powder, and ground ginger. Mix everything well and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Pour in the rice vinegar and coconut aminos, combine thoroughly, and let simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes, until the veggies are soft.
In a small bowl, mix together the mayo (or yogurt), coconut aminos, garlic powder, and sriracha sauce for the zesty sauce.
Serve hot in bowls topped with the creamy sauce and a sprinkle of green onions.

Fun Ways to Customize It

Spicy Twist: Add a dash of red pepper flakes to the veggies while they cook for an extra kick.
Veggie Extraordinaire: Toss in diced bell peppers or snap peas for added crunch and color.
Tropical Delight: Mix in some crushed pineapple for a sweet contrast to the savory flavors.
Herb Infusion: Sprinkle in fresh herbs like cilantro or basil right before serving for a fresh taste!

Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

Make-Ahead Magic: You can prep the ingredients ahead of time—slice the onions, chop the veggies, and even cook the protein. Store them in the fridge for a quick throw-together meal.
Storage Solutions: Leftovers keep well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet to maintain the texture.
Ingredient Swaps: Don’t have coleslaw mix? You can use shredded cabbage and carrots instead. Just adjust the quantities to match.
Slicing Trick: For perfectly sliced onion, cut from root to tip and then thinly slice—it’ll save you time and effort!
