 Egg Roll in a Bowl

All the flavor of an egg roll without the fried wrapper!  So delicious!

 

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground beef or pork (could also use shredded chicken or shrimp)
• 1 large onion diced (I cheated and got one that was already cut up at Food Lion)
• 1 small head of cabbage (Can get angel hair cabbage already shredded)
• 3 carrots (or a bag of shredded carrots)
• 4-5 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/4 cup soy sauce (I use low sodium)

 

Directions:

Cook and crumble ground meat with onions in a very large skillet until meat is cooked through.  Do not drain.  I suggest a skillet large enough to hold all of the cabbage - if you don't have a large one divide the meat mixture into two smaller ones and make two skillets

 

While the meat and onions are cooking cut the cabbage into thin shreds and set aside.  You can also buy angel hair cabbage that has already been shredded.

 

Peel carrots with a vegetable peeler then either dice small or use the peeler to shave off think slices; set aside.  You can also buy a bag of shredded carrots to avoid this step.

 

Combine garlic, ginger, pepper, sesame oil, olive oil, and soy sauce in a small bowl and stir to combine.

 

Add cabbage and carrots to ground meat (or chicken or shrimp) and stir over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes.  Add soy sauce mixture then stir well.

 

Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking for 5-10 minutes or until cabbage is tender.

 

Makes approximately 4-6 servings.

The Unicorn of Chicken Salads

A delicious, healthy chicken salad recipe your family can enjoy!


Ingredients:

• 3 cups shredded chicken
• 1/2 cup green apple
• 1/2 cup seedless red grapes
• 1/3 cup sliced raw almonds
• 1 Tbsp chopped tarragon (optional)
• 1/4 cup Creamy Honey Mustard Dressing (recipe to follow)
• 1/2 cup plain Greek Yogurt
• 3 Tbsp Dijon mustard
• 3 Tbsp agave nectar or raw honey
• 3 Tbsp rice vinegar
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Directions:

Combine chicken, apple, grapes, almonds, and tarragon

Make Creamy Honey Mustard Dressing:  mix Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, agave/honey, rice vinegar and olive oil

Add dressing and mix well

Note:  The dressing can be made in a mason jar to make it easier!  Simply mix ingredients and shake!  You can also make extra to keep on hand for the next batch!  It is so good you might even want to use it on other things!  Chicken can be prepared in the crock pot by just covering chicken with water and cooking on low for 6 hours.  It will already be shreddy and perfect for chicken salad!
