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 to prepare for cooking the chicken and vegetables.
- Cook the Chicken: Add the diced chicken to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown on the outside.
- Add Vegetables: Stir in the minced garlic, shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and chopped green onions. Continue cooking for another 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender but still maintain a slight crispness.
- Season: Pour in the soy sauce and sprinkle the ground ginger over the mixture. Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well-coated with the flavors.
- Taste and Adjust: Sample the dish and adjust seasonings by adding more salt, pepper, or soy sauce as desired to suit your palate.
- Serve: Remove the skillet from heat and serve the egg roll bowls hot. Garnish with optional toppings such as sesame seeds, fresh cilantro, or a drizzle of Sriracha to add extra flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken breast with chicken thighs or tofu for a different texture and flavor.
- For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
- Adjust the level of ginger based on your preference for spice and warmth.
- Add a splash of rice vinegar or lime juice for a tangy twist.
- This dish pairs well with steamed rice or noodles if you want a more filling meal.
