Low Carb Sausage Egg Roll in a Bowl

 

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 pounds spicy bulk pork sausage no filler ingredients
• 1/4 cup water
• 3 cups green cabbage shredded
• 1 medium carrot shredded
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
• 1/2 tablespoon fresh ginger finely minced
• 2 stalks green onions chopped
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons coconut aminos or tamari
• Sea salt and black pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds for garnish

Step-by-Step Instructions

• Heat a large high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking the meat into small pieces as it cooks, for approximately 5-6 minutes. Once sausage is no longer pink, remove from heat and carefully drain excess grease from pan.
• Return skillet to heat. Add water and scrape up brown bits from the bottom of the pan with a spatula. Reduce heat to medium and add shredded cabbage, carrots, sesame oil, ginger and green onions. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and cook, stirring frequently, until the cabbage wilts and the carrot softens, approximately 4-5 minutes.
• Add rice vinegar and coconut aminos and stir to combine. Cook another 1-2 minutes or until heated through. Remove from heat and transfer to a serving platter or bowl. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, if using and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Notes

You can make this egg roll in a bowl recipe using any meat you like. Traditionally, we make it with sausage. However, you can try chicken, turkey or beef. If you happen to have leftover sausage, use it to make this sausage potato soup. It isn’t truly a low-carb recipe but it is so delicious that you can save it for a special occasion.
