Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 head of cabbage, sliced into strips
  • 3 large carrots, grated
  • 5 green onions, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

Proteins

  • 1 lb ground organic beef, turkey, or chicken (can substitute shrimp, grilled chicken, tofu, etc.)

Oils and Sauces

  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1/3 cup coconut aminos

Seasoning

  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Dash of red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the skillet: Place a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of avocado oil. Ensure the skillet is large enough to accommodate the entire head of cabbage for even cooking.
  2. Cook the vegetables: Once the oil is hot, add the sliced cabbage and stir to coat it thoroughly. Add the grated carrots and cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
  3. Add flavors: Stir in the minced garlic, 1/3 cup coconut aminos, and 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Season generously with sea salt and black pepper. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender. Remove the vegetable mixture from the pan and transfer to a large bowl, leaving any leftover sauce and oils in the pan to flavor the protein.
  4. Cook the protein: Add the ground meat (or your choice of protein) to the same pan, season with salt and pepper, and cook over medium heat until no longer pink. For other proteins like shrimp, tofu, or grilled chicken, cook according to preference, adding a little oil if needed to prevent sticking.
  5. Combine and serve: Drain any excess liquid from the cooked meat, then add it to the bowl with the sautéed vegetables. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and a dash of red pepper flakes if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your Paleo Egg Roll in a Bowl!

Notes

  • You can substitute the ground meat with ground turkey, chicken, shrimp, grilled chicken pieces, or tofu for a vegetarian option.
  • If you prefer more heat, increase the amount of red pepper flakes or add a splash of sriracha.
  • For added crunch, garnish with chopped cashews or sliced almonds before serving.
  • This recipe is perfect for meal prep and stores well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Make sure to use coconut aminos as a soy-free, Paleo-friendly alternative to soy sauce.
