Inside out egg rolls mimic the filling you would find in a standard egg roll, but without being covered in a egg roll wrapper and deep fried. This asian inspired meal is so easy to create, the cole slaw comes pre shredded, cutting down on the prep time. It is flavorful, filling, and a super easy way to get your veggies in.

Ingredients

Ground pork- I added ground pork, which is traditional in egg roll filling. You can use other ground meats if preferred.
Rainbow Slaw Mix- Rainbow slaw mix features shredded cabbage, carrots, and red cabbage. You can find it in the refrigerator section by the bagged salad mixes.
Fresh grated ginger- This adds such flavor and freshness to this simple dish. I always have fresh ginger on hand in the freezer to make it super easy to add to recipes. Here are instructions for how to freeze fresh ginger.
Garlic
Chopped green onions- These are used both in the dish and as a garnish
Avocado oil- Or any neutral oil
Soy sauce- I suggest low sodium soy sauce, as the regular variety can be quite salty. Liquid aminos or coconut aminos can be used in place of soy sauce.
Rice wine vinegar
Sesame oil- Either toasted or regular.

See recipe card below for full list of ingredients and their measurements.

Variations

If you prefer a different ground meat, ground beef, ground chicken, or ground turkey can be used in place of ground pork.

If you can't find rainbow coleslaw mix, regular coleslaw mix will work. You can even by a whole green cabbage and shred or dice it yourself.

How to Make

Step 1. Heat avocado oil in a large deep skillet over medium heat. Add ground pork to the pan and brown, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon or spatula as it cooks. It should take around 6-8 minutes.

Step 4. When cabbage has softened, stir in soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice wine vinegar. Cook for one additional minute, remove from heat and serve.

How to Serve Inside Out Egg Rolls

I topped these bowls with sriracha, but you could do sweet and sour sauce, sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, teriyaki, gochujang aioli, or just leave them as is.

If you want to make this meal go farther, you can always add rice. Either place this on a bed of rice or mix it in. If you want to keep the dish low carb, use cauliflower rice.
