Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Chop the onion, mince the garlic, grate the ginger, and shred the cabbage and carrots. Having everything prepped makes the cooking process quick and smooth.
  2. Cook the Protein: Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground meat and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks (about 5-7 minutes). Drain any excess fat if needed.
  3. Sauté the Aromatics: Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Then add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the Vegetables: Stir in the shredded cabbage and carrots. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened but still have some crunch.
  5. Season the Dish: Add the coconut aminos, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic powder, ground ginger, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious, healthy egg roll in a bowl!
