In the spirit of nurturing your body and still pleasing your taste buds, here is one of our new favorite dinner recipes. It\u2019s fairly quick, packed with veggies, and delicious. My husband asked for seconds and fought me for the leftovers the next day! Traditional Chinese \u201ctake-out\u201d isn\u2019t known for its health benefits. This Egg Roll re-make, however, is tasty and healthy. If you\u2019re vegetarian, you can easily omit the pork and toss in some lentils or nuts for a bit more protein and nutrients. I haven\u2019t tried it yet, but I\u2019m betting shrimp would also be great in this.<\/p>\n
Egg Roll Bowls<\/p>\n
Serves 2+<\/p>\n
\u00bd lbs ground pork, preferably pasture-raised<\/p>\n
1 Tbsp + 2 Tbsp soy sauce<\/p>\n
1 onion, diced<\/p>\n
2 tsp garlic, minced<\/p>\n
1 tsp finely diced fresh ginger (peeled)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
2 \u00bd cups green or nappa cabbage, shredded<\/p>\n
2 \u00bd cups kale, finely sliced (tough ribs removed)<\/p>\n
2-3 oz shitake mushrooms, thinly sliced<\/p>\n
3-4 carrots, shredded<\/p>\n
1 tsp Chinese Rice Wine (I\u2019ve also used a bit of Mirin + apple cider vinegar successfully)<\/p>\n
drizzle of toasted sesame oil<\/p>\n
3-4 green onions, sliced<\/p>\n
Over medium-high heat, add 1 Tbsp soy sauce and the ground pork (if using). Cook, breaking the meat up into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until meat is browned. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger. Cook 2-3 minutes. Then add your cabbage, kale, carrots, and mushrooms.<\/p>\n
Add the remaining 2 Tbsp of soy sauce, the rice wine, and the sesame oil. Cook, stirring periodically, for about 4 minutes, until the greens are wilted, but still crunchy. Toss in the green onions, stir, and serve.<\/p>\n
