Ingredients

Egg Roll in a Bowl

  • 1 lb. chicken breasts, cubed, option to use shrimp instead
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil, divided
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced, about 2 cloves
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced, about 1 cup
  • 1 small zucchini, diced, about 1 cup
  • ½ cup carrots, julienned or matchstick carrots
  • 1.5 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • salt, to taste
  • cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons green onion, chopped
  • ¼ cup chow mein noodles, option to use ramen noodles instead

Spicy Creamy Sauce

  • ¼ cup kewpie mayonnaise, regular mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons maple syrup

Equipment

  • 1 large non-stick saute pan
  • 1 small mixing bowl dressing

Instructions 

Make Spicy Creamy Sauce

  • Combine kewpie mayonnaise, sriracha, low sodium soy sauce, and maple syrup in a small mixing bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Make the Dish - Option to use shrimp or chicken

  • In a large sauté pan over medium heat, add one tablespoon of avocado oil. Season the cubed chicken or shrimp with salt and black pepper. Add your protein to the pan and saute. Once the chicken is cooked through (165 degrees Fahrenheit) and lightly browned, remove it from the pan.
    ** if using shrimp, sear for 2-3 minutes per side.**
  • In the same pan, add the remaining avocado oil. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, minced ginger, julienned carrots and diced zucchini. Sauté for 3-4 minutes.
    Next, add the thinly sliced green cabbage. Season the vegetables with a pinch of salt and cracked black pepper. Once the cabbage begins to soften, add the cooked protein back in.
  • Add the low sodium soy sauce stir well and sauté. I like my cabbage slightly firm, but you can saute it to your liking. Top with chopped green onions and serve over a bed of ramen, or with crispy chow mein noodles.
    Option to drizzle the dish with the spicy creamy sauce and enjoy hot.
