Egg Roll in a Bowl

Okay, since the last recipe shared was about the most unhealthy recipe in the world, I decided I should remind you all that generally I do love cooking healthier 😂
This recipe is SO CLOSE to being anti-inflammatory that I decided to label it as such anyway, even though the sauce drizzled on top is not. The rest of it is, so if you follow the anti-inflammatory diet, just don't add the spicy mayo sauce on the top, but I HIGHLY suggest adding it when you can because it is delicious.
I love the flavors that are in typical egg rolls, but sometimes I don't want the added carbs and fat from deep frying them. This recipe is so full of flavor that you don't even miss the added grease.


2 TBSP sesame oil
6 green onions sliced, green and white parts divided
1/2 cup red onion, diced
5 cloves garlic minced
1 pound ground chicken or turkey
1 tsp fresh grated ginger or 1/2 tsp powdered ginger
1 TBSP Cocnut Aminos Garlic Sauce or Chili Garlic Sauce for non anti-inflammatory
14 ounce bag coleslaw mix
1 cup shredded purple cabbage (if not included in coleslaw mix)
3 TBSP coconut aminos 
1 TBSP rice wine vinegar
1/8  tsp black pepper
salt to taste

Additional Toppings:
sesame seeds
green parts of sliced green onions from above

Creamy Chili Sauce (not for anti-inflammatory)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1-2 TBSP sriracha or hot sauce
salt to taste

1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add sesame oil.

2. When oil is heated, add the white parts of the green onions and red onions and allow to cook for 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook an additional 30 seconds or until fragrant.

3, Add the ground chicken, ginger, and garlic sauce (which ever variety you choose to use) and cook chicken through making sure to break it up into small pieces. I like to use a metal potato masher to do this. This will take roughly 5-7 minutes.

4. When chicken is cooked add the coleslaw mix, cabbage, coconut aminos, rice wine vinegar, pepper, and salt and mix until combined.

5. Allow mixture to cook until the cabbage is tender, making sure to stir occasionally.

6. While mixture is cooking, if you are making the spicy mayo sauce, now is a great time to add the ingredients to a small bowl and whisk to combine. If not, simply skip this step.

7. Serve with green parts of the green onion and sesame seeds.

**Randi's Side Notes**
~ This recipe could also be made with ground pork if not following the anti-inflammatory diet.
~ If using the Chili Garlic Sauce in this recipe vs. the Coconut Aminos Garlic Sauce and aren't a huge spice lover, I would do less then the recommended 1 TBSP to start out with. I have found that it is easier to add more spice then to take it away. It is a bit spicy for my children, but just right for my husband and I.
