Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced
Vegetables
- 4 cups shredded cabbage (green or a mix of purple and green)
- 1 cup grated carrots
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Seasonings & Oils
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger (or 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional Toppings
- Sesame seeds
- Fresh cilantro
- Sriracha
Instructions
- Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat until shimmering, preparing the pan to cook the chicken evenly.
- Cook the Chicken: Add the diced chicken to the skillet, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook it for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and golden brown on the outside.
- Add Vegetables: Stir in the minced garlic, shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and chopped green onions. Continue cooking for 3-5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften while retaining some crispness.
- Season: Pour in the soy sauce and add the ground ginger. Mix well to evenly distribute the flavors throughout the bowl.
- Taste and Adjust: Sample the dish and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or soy sauce as preferred to balance flavors.
- Serve: Remove the skillet from heat and serve the egg roll bowls hot. Garnish with optional sesame seeds, fresh cilantro, or a drizzle of Sriracha for extra flavor and spice if desired.
Notes
- Use tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free version.
- Fresh ginger adds more vibrant flavor but ground ginger is a quick alternative.
- For added crunch, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds just before serving.
- Adjust spice level by adding more or less Sriracha.
- Leftover chicken can be swapped with tofu for a vegetarian alternative.
