Ingredient Notes

Egg Roll Bowls

• Ground pork: You can also use ground beef, ground turkey, or ground chicken, whichever ground meat you prefer.
• Bag of coleslaw mix: You will find this in the refrigerated section next to other bagged lettuce mixes.You can shred your own cabbage, but I find the bagged variety much easier.
• Veggies: Shredded carrots, chopped red cabbage, sweet onion, and minced garlic.
• Toasted sesame oil
• Rice wine vinegar
• Coconut aminos: This replaces soy sauce in a standard egg roll. It’s a gluten-free, Whole 30-compliant alternative.If you want to use regular or low-sodium soy sauce, feel free to. You can also use gluten-free Tamari sauce for a gluten-free option.
• Spices: Ground ginger, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
• Green onions: Optional, for garnish.
• Sesame seeds: Optional, for garnish
• Red Pepper Flakes: Optional, for added spice.

Bang Bang Sauce Ingredients

• Mayonnaise or dairy yogurt: I make my own homemade mayo using this 60-second recipe!
• Coconut aminos
• Garlic powder
• Sriracha sauce: Use more or less depending on your spice preference.
• Salt and pepper: Use to taste.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat with 2 tsp sesame seed oil. Add in the garlic and onions. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Add in the ground sausage and Brown for 5 minutes. Drain off excess grease.
2. Add the bagged coleslaw, carrots, red cabbage, onion powder, and ginger. Stir mixing all vegetables and sausage together. Cook for 5 minutes.
3. Add the rice vinegar and coconut aminos to the sausage mixture. Mix together and cook over low heat for 10 mins or until veggies are soft. I still like a crunch, so I only cook down for about 8 minutes.
