5 from 25 reviews

A healthy, flavorful Paleo Egg Roll in a Bowl recipe that combines ground meat and fresh vegetables sautéed with savory coconut aminos and sesame oil to create a low-carb, gluten-free alternative to traditional egg rolls without the wrapper.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 head 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 sub shrimp, grilled chicken, tofu, etc.)

Oils & Sauces

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

Seasonings

  • Sea salt, to taste
  • 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, ensuring the pan is big enough to fit the entire head of cabbage comfortably.
  2. Cook the cabbage: Once the oil is hot, add the sliced cabbage and stir to coat it evenly with the oil.
  3. Add carrots: Stir in the grated carrots and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until the vegetables are slightly softened.
  4. Season the vegetables: Add the minced garlic, coconut aminos, and sesame oil to the pan. Season generously with sea salt and black pepper, and add red pepper flakes if using. Stir well to combine.
  5. Sauté the vegetables: Continue cooking the veggies, stirring occasionally, until they are soft but still retain some texture. Remove the vegetable mixture from the pan and place it in a large bowl, leaving any remaining sauce or oil in the pan to flavor the protein.
  6. Cook the meat: Add the ground meat to the same pan, season with salt and pepper, and cook until no longer pink, breaking it apart as it cooks. If using alternative proteins like shrimp or tofu, cook them according to preferred methods, adding oil if needed to prevent sticking.
  7. Combine and finish: Drain any excess fat from the meat if necessary. Add the cooked meat to the bowl with the vegetables, stir to combine, then fold in the chopped green onions. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can substitute the ground meat with shrimp, grilled chicken, or tofu for different variations.
  • Leave out the red pepper flakes for a milder flavor, or add more for extra heat.
  • For a soy-free option, coconut aminos is a great alternative to soy sauce and keeps the recipe Paleo.
  • Use fresh, high-quality produce and organic meat whenever possible for the best flavor and nutrition.
  • The recipe is naturally gluten-free and dairy-free.
