What You’ll Need
- 1 pound of lean ground beef
- 1 small head of cabbage, shredded or sliced into thin strips
- 3 to 4 medium-sized carrots, shredded
- 1/4 onion, chopped finely
- 1 teaspoon of ginger
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon of sesame oil
- 1/4 cup of low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar
- Ground black pepper, to taste
How to Make It
- Cook the Beef and Onion
Get your skillet hot over medium-high heat and add in the ground beef and finely chopped onion. Cook until the beef is fully browned and the onion turns translucent. If there’s any excess fat, drain it off. You don’t want your dish to be greasy. - Add the Cabbage and Carrots
Now it’s time to add some veggies. Toss in the shredded cabbage and carrots, and give them a good stir. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring often, so they soften up nicely. - Make the Sauce
In a small bowl, mix together ginger, minced garlic, vegetable oil, sesame oil, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. This combination will give your stir fry a rich, aromatic flavor that’s hard to resist. - Combine and Cook
Pour the sauce into the skillet with the meat and vegetables. Mix everything together, ensuring the sauce is evenly distributed. Continue cooking for another 7 to 10 minutes, stirring every so often. You’ll know it’s done when the cabbage is tender but not soggy, and everything smells amazing. - Serve and Enjoy
Once everything is cooked to perfection, sprinkle in some ground black pepper to taste. Serve your Egg Roll Stir Fry on its own or over rice for a more filling meal. It’s a simple yet satisfying dish that you’ll want to make again and again.
And that’s it! This Egg Roll Stir Fry is a great way to enjoy the flavors of egg rolls without all the fuss. Plus, it’s a one-skillet dish, so cleanup is a breeze. If you want to switch things up, you can easily substitute the ground beef with ground turkey or chicken. Give it a try, and let me know how you like it!
