  • 1 bunch green onions, chopped (whites and greens separated)
  • 4 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
  • 2 (10-ounce) bags coleslaw angel hair cabbage (20 ounces total)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Seasonings and Sauces

  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (or 1 teaspoon table salt)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon miso paste (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce (optional, for heat)

Sriracha Mayo

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce (or to taste)
  • 2 teaspoons rice vinegar (optional)

Garnishes

  • Toasted sesame seeds
  • Extra cilantro

Instructions

  1. Prep Vegetables: Start by prepping all your veggies including dicing jalapeno, shredding carrots, and chopping green onions. This ensures a smooth cooking process as the recipe moves quickly.
  2. Prepare Jalapeno: Remove seeds and membranes from 1 jalapeno for milder heat or keep them for spicier flavor; chop into small dice.
  3. Shred Carrots: Peel 2 large carrots and shred them using a cheese grater to add texture and sweetness.
  4. Chop Green Onions: Chop 1 bunch of green onions, separating whites and greens as the whites will be added earlier in cooking and greens later as garnish.
  5. Cook Ground Beef and Aromatics: Add 1 pound ground beef to a 12-inch, high-sided skillet over medium heat along with jalapeno, shredded carrots, and white parts of green onions. Season with kosher salt and black pepper. Break up the beef and cook for about 5-8 minutes until browned and fully cooked.
  6. Add Garlic: Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  7. Add Cabbage and Sauces: Add the 20 ounces of angel hair cabbage immediately followed by soy sauce, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, optional miso paste, and optional sriracha. Stir well to combine.
  8. Cook Cabbage: Let the cabbage cook down for about 3-5 minutes until wilted but still slightly crisp.
  9. Add Ginger: Stir in minced fresh ginger and cook for an additional 1 minute to infuse flavor.
  10. Finish Off and Garnish: Remove from heat and stir in chopped cilantro and remaining green onion greens.
  11. Prepare Sriracha Mayo: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce, and 2 teaspoons rice vinegar. Adjust sriracha to taste for desired spice level.
  12. Serve: Plate the egg roll bowl hot, garnish with toasted sesame seeds, extra cilantro, and drizzle with prepared sriracha mayo.
  13. Enjoy: This dish works great as is for a low-carb meal or served alongside white, brown, or coconut jasmine rice, with optional garnishes like pickled red onions or a refreshing Thai cucumber salad.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef (93% lean or higher) to reduce excess fat but maintain flavor.
  • Miso paste is optional but adds a depth of umami; omit if unavailable.
  • Adjust sriracha amounts in both the dish and mayo sauce to control spiciness.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute ground beef with crumbled tofu or tempeh and use vegetarian-friendly sauces.
  • Angel hair cabbage or coleslaw bags are convenient—if unavailable, finely shred fresh green and purple cabbage.
  • This recipe stores well and is even better the next day as flavors meld.
