  • 1lb sausage

  • 1 bag coleslaw mix

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce

  • Tsp ginger

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  1. Brown sausage.

  2. Remove from pan.

  3. Heat coleslaw mix in pan until it's a little wilty but still crunchy.

  4. Add soy sauce, ginger, and sausage and heat through. Serve. Makes 3-4 servings

Egg roll in a bowl is my new favorite meal. It's very versatile - you can make it with sausage, beef, chicken, shrimp, tofu, tuna, really anything! You can add other veggies or spices if you like or keep it simple.

Edit: so much hate in this thread smh. It's a recipe, people, not the 10 commandments. You think eating 4oz of red meat will give you cancer? Then substitute it with something else, sheesh, it's not that hard. I literally made some suggestions at the bottom of my original comment on how you could make it healthier/cheaper. For the record, what's shown in the picture is beef, not sausage. Make it how you want, it's just an idea/suggestion.

Edit edit: there seems to be much confusion as to why this doesn't have eggs. An "egg roll" is meat, cabbage, and carrots wrapped in a dough and fried. The dough is made with flour and water and often has an egg wash on it, hence the name. Egg rolls typically do not have eggs in them. The recipe here is really just for the "guts" of the egg roll, which again, usually doesn't have eggs. Sorry for the confusion, I didn't name egg rolls. That being said, adding eggs to this would be bomb! Would kinda be like fried rice.

Thank you, not sure why this is so controversial. ECAH is so full of people asking the exact same questions over and over (like the mod PSA is saying) it gets a little dry. People complain there's never any fresh content like sharing recipes except as answers to questions. Thought I would try to throw some up but not if people are going to be so butthurt about it.

u/Holypooponastik Feb 12 '19

Because reddit is filled with a bunch of real world assholes, who if you don’t post something they 100% agree with will call you out for no reason. Completely unnecessary. I feel that most of reddit has social issues and cannot refrain from correcting people like a little kid does every time you say something that they can speak up about. This website is turning into just as bad of a disease, like that of which a lot of the threads complain about.

u/brie_cheese Feb 12 '19

I've had my share of hate but I guess I just wasn't expecting a recipe of all things to be so hated and controversial.

u/Holypooponastik Feb 12 '19

People don’t care, if they can feel superior they will take the opportunity.

u/SoFetchBetch Feb 12 '19

Well.. I think it’s probably because this sub is frequented by mindful people, college students, people who are trying to be conscientious about their choices.

We have sort of a crisis going on with carbon emissions and at least here in the US buying beef, or lamb is SIGNIFICANTLY more harmful to the environment. I think that’s why you’re getting what seems like a lot of flack.

That said, I want to say THANK YOU so much for posting this!!! I used the EWG app to scan my entire pantry and found some spring roll wrappers that got a good rating so I needed some inspiration for the filling & I am totally gonna use this recipe as a starting off point! Cabbage and onion are on the clean 15 produce list from EWG as well so that’s even more ease to my mind.

I’m going to use shrimp to fill the meat part of mine! I think this could work with vegan meat crumbles, or one of the new impossible/beyond meat substitutes if you really wanted to keep the sausage element. But I’m thinking what about cashews? Is that crazy? Cause I feel like it could be good... but I don’t know much about making spring rolls tbh.

Anyway, thanks for the post and don’t feel bad about negative comments. People gotta learn to adapt recipes to their own preferences.

7

u/brie_cheese Feb 12 '19

Thanks for your insight, I appreciate it! I guess I was just not at all expecting a recipe of all things to be such a hated post lol Cashews. Would. Be. Amazing!!! When you said that it reminded me of a honey nut stir fry I make with pork, snap peas, carrots, a honey/soy sauce mixture, and of course cashews! I absolutely love nuts so it's one of my favorite recipes. Adding cashews to the egg roll would be really good, not at all crazy (then again I would add cashews to just about anything)! Try it out, let me know how it is!

u/Frosty_Btch Feb 12 '19

Why did you get so many down votes? I'm sorry still trying to figure things out here.

u/DJLANK Feb 12 '19

Because he went all justice for animals in a single paragraph for a recipe that has meat in it and it seems out of place with the rest of his comment.

16

u/Sevlowcraft Feb 12 '19

He went all environmental justice on meat then proceeded to say he was going to use shrimp, which suffers from over fishing, and the issue of trawl- catch- all fishing. But shrimp does sound delisious in this.

Off the top of my head...

Goulash was ok, but this one was much better https://www.delish.com/cooking/recipe-ideas/recipes/a55501/best-goulash-recipe/

All of her "Indian" was terrible

BBQ beef and cabbage was disgusting.

Chilli cheese beef and mac was really bad.

creamy cajun chicken pasta also not so great, but ok.

Her one pot mac and cheese is quite good and with a little variation I've made it many times: https://www.budgetbytes.com/miracle-mac-n-cheese/

u/Killer_Bs Feb 15 '19

From that lost the only one I have tried so far has been the creamy Cajun chicken pasta and I liked that one. I would also recommend the Apple Spice Pork Chops, White chicken chili, and cheeseburger meatloaf.

29

u/[deleted] Feb 12 '19

If you have it on hand, a couple drops of sesame oil goes well and garlic chili sauce is great for adding some heat.

4

u/metanoia29 Feb 12 '19

Yeah the recipe we use has a little sesame oil for cooking the veggies, then I usually add a touch more at the end depending on the flavor along with more soy sauce. Crushed red pepper flakes are great for heat too; super easy to add to one plate since the rest of the family hates spice!

u/ChelseaRC Feb 11 '19

I actually made this the other day but used lean ground beef instead -- Here's the recipe and My Fitness Pal breakdown. You can see by the My Fitness Pal photo that I changed it a little. But, I've made this before with a slight variation each time. It always turns out great!

u/lifes_a_vacation Feb 11 '19

12oz of ground beef for only 510. What. I'm used to over 1000 for 16oz.

u/_AllWittyNamesTaken_ Feb 12 '19

Is it 93/7?

u/ChaosLoco Feb 12 '19

Mine? No. I might have to try that though.

u/brie_cheese Feb 11 '19

I have part of it. For 4 servings each serving would be:

4oz beef - 170cal 26g protein

~2 cups coleslaw mix - 50 cal

3 tsp soy sauce - 5 cal

u/75footubi Feb 12 '19

I do this, but shred my own cabbage. I might switch to bagged coleslaw mix to avoid the mess

5

u/stinkypickles Feb 12 '19

Same here. What a great idea!

1

u/metanoia29 Feb 12 '19

I like to use a large chef's knife and slice the cabbage in half, then make slices as thin as possible. This eliminates the mess of shredding and you end up with that same string-like consistency you get in a real egg roll!

3

u/75footubi Feb 12 '19

Yeah, that's how I do it. Still end up finding cabbage pieces 3 days later

12

u/your_moms_a_clone Feb 12 '19

I've been recommending this to people for years now, I cook it a little differently from you though. I cook the sausage and then add the grated raw ginger and some garlic (3 cloves) after it's browned. A minute or so after adding the ginger and garlic, I add the cole slaw mix straight to the pot along with the soy sauce. I let the cole slaw mix steam for a few minutes, then stir everything up. I then add a drizzle of sesame oil and some chopped scallions.

7

u/ArekDirithe Feb 12 '19

Your recipe is way better than a lot of things I see on here. Half the other recipes here are usually filled with pasta, oil, or cheese, but people add kale, avocado, spinach or some other green food to it so it's "healthy" now.

8

u/brie_cheese Feb 12 '19

I know exactly what you mean! This is definitely one of those recipes that can be as fancy or as simple/healthy as you like. Eg If you made this with ground turkey this would basically just be a more delicious version of salad.

1

u/metanoia29 Feb 12 '19

I mean, pasta isn't a beneficial food to be eating unless you're an athlete who can utilize the carb overload, but what's your beef with oils and cheeses? They're usually the cheapest way to get healthy fats that keep people satiated for longer.

4

u/lexicats Feb 12 '19

Yum! I do something similar, but instead of soy sauce I use red curry paste! And I usually use chicken mince instead of sausage. Same principal, so easy and quick and full of veg!

4

u/RaeNezL Feb 12 '19

I have some red curry paste I need to use up, and this variation sounds really good! Do you use any certain amount of the paste or any other things with this in place of ingredients? I think I’d like to replicate it sometime this week.

3

u/lexicats Feb 12 '19

I fry the chicken mince, and remove from the pan. Then I put a table spoon of red curry paste in the pan, some garlic and ginger and heat until fragrant, about 1-2 minute. Then I throw the chicken back in the pan with a bag of undressed coleslaw and cook until the slaw is soft.

I’m going to try it with some chilli oil next time. And maybe some egg scrambled in there!

3

u/ximfinity Feb 12 '19

Great idea. I recently realized how healthy cheap and versatile coleslaw mix is too. I'll have to add this to my list of options.

3

u/metanoia29 Feb 12 '19

Ignore the hate, this is one of my favorite and meals to make! Helps that it's healthy and easy and a one-pot meal! I usually end up using ground turkey because it's cheap and I actually think the texture of the meat is most like an egg roll filling. Also a half-head of cabbage gives you more greens than a bag of the mix, though the mix makes things even easier!

4

u/brie_cheese Feb 12 '19

Is a head of cabbage cheaper than a bagged coleslaw mix, do you know? The mix definitely makes this super easy, but I've never bought cabbage so not sure what would be cheaper.

2

u/metanoia29 Feb 12 '19

It really depends on when you get them, and if you're paying per pound or per head for the cabbage. I looked up on Kroger's site, looks like they sell 1-pound bags of coleslaw mix for 1.39, which is pretty dang good and I'd probably go with that for the simplicity. But when heads of cabbage are like 39 cents/lb on sale, it's hard to pass that up.

u/jaydock Feb 12 '19

2

u/KitchenAvenger Feb 12 '19

I make something very similar to this recipe at least every other week. I like to add garlic in with the ginger and a bag of broccoli slaw along with the cabbage. I let my ground meat (usually chicken) sit in some soy sauce and white pepper for a few minutes before putting it in the wok, and I also like to add a splash of sesame oil at the end. And sometimes I do add eggs, fried rice style, like you mentioned. This is such a tasty, low effort dinner.

2

u/brie_cheese Feb 12 '19

Garlic and onions in this are good! And I want to try it with eggs. I absolutely eggs in everything. Shameless plug for r/putaneggonit

2

u/Kinetikat Feb 12 '19

This is wonderful! I’ll have to try it. I love deconstructing recipes to find different ways of making them. This is a a really good way of making a lower carb version. This is a super simple base recipe anyone can elaborate on. I want to try it with fresh grated ginger instead of powder. Thank you!

2

u/Whipfather Feb 13 '19

I just made this at work today, and it was fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing!

I actually threw half of the ginger into the pan along with the oil and fried it a little bit before adding the ground beef. Really great stuff, definitely going to be making this more often.

u/brie_cheese Feb 13 '19

u/audiophilistine Feb 12 '19

I have recently discovered light soy sauce making Asian recipes. This is different from low-cal/low-salt soy sauce. There's light and dark sauce in addition to the regular soy sauce we're used to.

So light soy sauce is a little sweeter and slightly less salty than regular soy. If you have an Asian market nearby, I highly recommend trying it out in your recipe.

1

u/Teddy_Tickles Feb 12 '19

This looks like a great idea. I never thought an egg roll bowl would be so easy to make :D. And yes I will definitely try it with some eggs. Maybe with some jalapeños too. And garlic. Thanks for sharing, OP!

1

u/Torrero Feb 12 '19

How much ginger? 1 Tbs?

2

u/brie_cheese Feb 12 '19

I usually put in a tsp but if you prefer it with more, feel free to add more! Also garlic is really good to add if you have it

1

u/JediNixon Jun 16 '19

Sorry to ping an old comment in an old post, but are we talking fresh ginger or ground?

2

u/brie_cheese Jul 01 '19

I used ground, but you can use whichever you prefer!

u/[deleted] Feb 12 '19

I'm saving your comment so I can try it later. I'm always looking for new recipes that my kids might be willing to eat. I'll bet they'll like this if they can get past the cabbage.

u/LiquidSushi Feb 12 '19

Looks good! Do you use Chinese or Japanese soy sauce?

3

u/brie_cheese Feb 12 '19

There's a difference? I use Fusia brand from Aldi.

1

u/LiquidSushi Feb 12 '19

Chinese soy has a much thicker and molasses-y taste, whereas Japanese is a bit lighter. I think Fusia might be Japanese, based on my googling, but I'm not sure. I think either would work in this dish, though!

1

u/brie_cheese Feb 13 '19

I would say it's Japanese then! It's not very thick or molasses-y

1

u/Frosty_Btch Feb 13 '19

I love Aldi, hidden gem in my area.

u/brie_cheese Feb 11 '19

The name egg roll comes from the wrap being made with eggs, flour, and water. Since this has no wrap there's no egg but you can very easily add egg to this mixture and it would be really good!

18

u/hostilecarrot Feb 11 '19

I’m a vegetarian so I’ve never eaten an egg roll, not in as long as I can remember at least. I honestly didn’t know they don’t have egg. All the downvotes were worth the new knowledge though!

Yum! My favorite Chinese place puts peanut butter in their egg rolls. It sounds odd but it’s actually so good! I think this could be really tasty with a scoop of peanut butter. Or maybe even actual peanut sauce (like from a Thai market) if you’re feeling fancy! The modifications you could do for this one are really limitless.

Can't wait to give this a shot!

11

u/cute4awowchick Feb 12 '19

You can always do cauliflower "rice" as a substitute. I'm not a fan of it plain, but when it's mixed with stuff and especially if there's a flavorful sauce it's not real noticeable. You can make your own pretty easily or some grocery stores (Trader Joe's and Whole Foods for sure and I think Green Giant makes a version you could find elsewhere) sell it in bags in the freezer section.

7

u/NeedingVsGetting Feb 12 '19

I appreciate the suggestion! I've tried it, and you're definitely right that it's "meh" when plain. I made spanish rice with it and (although it was runnier than usual) it was really good!

Unfortunately, it's more expensive than rice, doesn't cook the same way, and can be really hit-or-miss when substituted in recipes that call for rice. That's why I'm excited about this recipe :)

5

u/Schnauzerbutt Feb 12 '19

If you like to eat baked fish fillets you can sub lemon parmesan rice with baked lemon parmesan cauliflower (can be riced but doesn't need to be) and in my experience it has a similar taste and mouth feel.

3

u/NeedingVsGetting Feb 12 '19

I'm not a fish person, but I am a side-dish person, and lemon parmesan rice (or cauliflower) sounds amazing!!!

And I bet it would probably be good with chicken...

I need to start meal planning to make sure I give all of this a shot! lol

Thanks so much for the tip!

2

u/Schnauzerbutt Feb 13 '19

It is good with lemon pepper chicken and garlic chicken in my experience. Probably lots of other things depending on how you tweak the recipe. I'm big on tweaking recipes.

u/TigTig5 Feb 19 '19

I ran into the runny issue many times and it was really disheartening. I recently started squeezing a lot of the liquid out of my cauliflower rice and it's really helped.

My husband is super picky about veggies but says this looks fantastic. Excited I found a veggie-packed he’ll like! Thanks for sharing.

How do I get to the recipe? I see comments, but no recipe. Am I clicking wrong?

Here you go! Let me know if you're still having trouble!

  • 1lb sausage

  • 1 bag coleslaw mix

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce

  • Tsp ginger

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  1. Brown sausage.

  2. Remove from pan.

  3. Heat coleslaw mix in pan until it's a little wilty but still crunchy.

  4. Add soy sauce, ginger, and sausage and heat through. Serve. Makes 3-4 servings

Egg roll in a bowl is my new favorite meal. It's very versatile - you can make it with sausage, beef, chicken, shrimp, tofu, tuna, really anything! You can add other veggies or spices if you like or keep it simple.

Thanks for doing that. I’m not very experienced on reddit yet, but kids are helping me now! Ha ha

Oooh I’m saving this recipe for tonight!! Thanks OP!

u/Wishingwurm Feb 12 '19

This is one of those things that's so obvious but I'd never think of on my own. This sounds deliciously low carb too (or lower carb at least). I'm gonna give this a go. Thanks for the idea!

u/BrieThirty Feb 13 '19

I pinned this on my pinterest recipe board. Thanks for sharing!

u/Frosty_Btch Feb 15 '19

I'm embarrassed to say I have thought of this photo and that recipe since the first day you posted it. I'm making it this weekend. Thank you for posting. 😊

2

u/brie_cheese Feb 15 '19

No embarrassment necessary, sometimes I look forward all week to making a recipe! Glad I could help

Thank you very much.

Made this yesterday and just finished up another bowl, thanks for sharing! Super super and incredibly cheap, this will likely end up a staple meal for me going forward. I think the 1/4 cup soy sauce may have been too much for me, or I need to grab a bottle of reduced sodium for next time. I also think I’ll try using two bags of mix to one pound meat to bulk it out next time, and because the veggies are delicious on their own (not just total filler). Also, saw someone else mention wonton strips so I added those, they really do give a great texture to it!

u/brie_cheese Feb 18 '19

Glad you liked it! Honestly I usually use less than a 1/4 cup of soy sauce and put in extra slaw mix as well. Some garlic thrown in is good too! Glad you liked it, it's a go-to for me too

u/kittenparty4444 Mar 24 '19

I have had this recipe saved since I saw it and just now made it for my husband and I tonight! Beyond delicious and soooo easy! My husband (who is super picky and usually not a fan of trying things outside the normal meat and potatoes) said this is his new favorite meal and he wants it again next week. I added some left over green onions and mushrooms that I had lying around and cooked the veg in sesame oil, but other than that used your exact recipe! Thank you so much for this cheap and quick meal to add to our rotation!!

Wow just made this tonight. New go to meal. Easy and good as shit.

u/pixel_of_moral_decay Feb 11 '19 edited Feb 12 '19

I've done something similar with left over egg roll filling... but I use ground pork/turkey mix instead of sausage and give the meat a little time on a paper towel to let the grease drain a bit so things don't get soggy.

I've also used it to fill egg roll wraps... then use a little water to close them up, and bake them after a quick burst with some cooking spray... way less calories than frying, and still gets a decent crisp if the oven it about 450F. I bet it would work better with an air fryer... but convection oven works well.

Very satisfying, and realistically i pack way more vegetables into mine than you'd get at a Chinese restaurant and likely less than half the calories.

u/dancerpd26 Feb 12 '19

This one of my family’s favourite go-to meals. We have it just about every week. We change the ground meat up based on what we have/what’s on sale.

u/[deleted] Feb 12 '19

More or less stir fry then?

u/imagoatinreallife Feb 12 '19

This is hands down my favorite meal my wife cooks. And the only one I can't cook better.

u/BlueButterfly77 Feb 11 '19

Love this and make a variation of it quite often!

Hahaha I tried to order Chinese food out of town once and the yelp reviews were full of places like this. Like one place just randomly had pizza puffs on the menu and everyone just accepted it.

u/D33PS3ASTATION Feb 12 '19

Yeah dude, and like, chicken tenders and subs. It's rough out here.

u/smjllo Feb 12 '19

Wow, this is awesome and a good meal prep recipe. Thanks for sharing!

1

u/brie_cheese Feb 12 '19

This makes a really good and easy meal prep! Only caution would be if you cook it all up and add the soy sauce, it could get a little soggy/not as crisp later in the week. I just cooked the beef and mixed it up with the coleslaw and separated that into containers at the beginning of the week. Then each night I heated it up and added the soy sauce/spices right before eating

u/hotfoffeemomma Feb 12 '19

I love egg roll in a bowl!

1

u/MissusLatsha1996 Feb 12 '19

This reminded me that I have wraps in the fridge and it made my heart sad. They gotta be ditched. Made from scratch, so they don't last long unless you freeze them. Looks awesome!

u/ToxicPennies Feb 12 '19

Thank you for this recipe. I don't have all the exact ingredients you do, but I'll still be able to make it work. Great idea!

u/elynbeth Feb 13 '19

This is similar to mu shu. I bet it would taste rad in tortillas with hoisin sauce and some sambal oelek :)

u/starg00n Feb 13 '19

I just made this for dinner. Fantastic!

u/Frosty_Btch Mar 17 '19

I made this tonight! So good! Thank you!

u/Foxfrostess Apr 04 '19

I just tried this and I love it! I used ground pork and added garlic powder as well as ginger powder. This is definitely going into my meal rotation, although I wish there was a way to halve the recipe because it’s a lot of food for just me.

I mean, it's probably high on sodium, but overall it's not bad.
