Steps by step instructions
How to make Low Carb Thai Egg Roll in a Bowl
STEP 1: Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat and add the ground pork or beef. Brown the meat, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks, until it's no longer pink.
STEP 2: Once the meat is browned, add minced garlic, diced onions, and minced fresh ginger to the pan. Stir well and cook until the onions are translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
STEP 3: Pour sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce (or alternative), Thai red curry paste, and peanut butter into the pan with the meat mixture. Stir until everything is thoroughly combined and the peanut butter is melted.
STEP 4: Add the coleslaw or shredded cabbage to the pan, stirring to coat it with the sauce. Cover the pan with a lid and let the cabbage cook for about 15 minutes, or until it reaches your desired level of tenderness.
Once the cabbage is cooked to your liking, add the remaining tablespoon of soy sauce (or alternative) to the pan. Stir well to incorporate.
Garnish the dish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. For extra crunch, sprinkle chopped peanuts on top before serving, if desired.
