Tasty Egg Roll (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Main Components

01 - 1 medium onion, diced finely
02 - 4 garlic cloves, minced
03 - 1 pound ground meat (chicken, beef, turkey, or pork)
04 - ½ teaspoon salt
05 - 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
06 - ¼ cup soy sauce
07 - 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
08 - 2 tablespoons sesame oil
09 - 1 bag (16 ounces) pre-packaged coleslaw mix
10 - ½ cup carrots (grated or julienned)
11 - ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
12 - 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
13 - 8 ounces water chestnuts, chopped small
14 - 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

→ Toppers

15 - Chopped green onions (4 stalks)
16 - Toasted black sesame seeds

→ Spicy Sauce for Drizzling

17 - ¼ cup full-fat mayonnaise
18 - 1 to 2 tablespoons sriracha—depends how much spice you like

# Instructions:

01 - In a big pan over medium heat, pour in the sesame oil. Add diced onion, cooking for about 3 minutes until it softens and gets slightly see-through. Toss in the ground meat, crumbling it up as you go. Cook until there's no pink left, approximately 6 minutes. Drain extra grease if needed.
02 - Mix in the ginger, garlic, and water chestnuts. Keep stirring for just 30 seconds so the aromas stay strong. The water chestnuts will add a little crunch.
03 - Stir in rice vinegar, soy sauce, hoisin, and sriracha. Cook everything together for roughly 1 minute, letting the flavors meld beautifully. This will give you a savory and slightly spicy base.
04 - Dump the coleslaw mix and grated carrots into the pan. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Combine everything well, making sure the veggies absorb the sauce. Cook 5-7 minutes, stirring now and then, until the veggies are tender but still crisp.
05 - Grab a small bowl and whisk together the mayo with sriracha. Adjust the amount of spice to your taste, mixing until the color turns a nice orange shade.
06 - Turn off the stove once the veggie mix looks great. Taste and tweak with more soy, salt, or pepper if you think it needs it. Serve in bowls, sprinkle on green onions and sesame seeds, and drizzle or serve spicy mayo on the side.

# Notes:

01 - This is a quick take on a favorite starter, simplified into skillet cooking.
02 - For a low-carb option, swap regular soy sauce with tamari and pick sugar-free hoisin.
03 - Great for prepping ahead—store it in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The flavors intensify as it sits.
