Cabbages

I spent all day yesterday preparing for Dad to have surgery (parotidectomy) this morning. They called at 4:15 yesterday evening and told us that it would be rescheduled. So I didn’t get to do research for an article or do a recipe with some great photography, instead I spent the day running errands and getting things ready.

So today in lieu of an article, I’ll post a recipe. This is Eggroll is a Bowl.  This is the more-veggies-and-less-meat version of this recipe that is in the Budget Menu Mailer. This recipe has gotten some great reviews from Menu Mailer users.

Eggroll in a Bowl
From the Budget Menu Mailer

Hands-on: 15 minutes
Hands-off: 15 minutes
Serves 4

1 Tbs fat of your choice (coconut and sesame, butter, or ghee)
½ pound or more ground beef, turkey or pork
¾ head cabbage, finely shredded
1 onion, diced
2 carrots, shredded
2 stalks celery, diced
1 clove garlic, pressed
½ cup mung bean sprouts, optional
3+ Tbs tamari, coconut aminos or homemade soy sauce replacement
½ tsp dry ginger powder

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking up the beef, until the beef is no longer pink. Add the cabbage, onion, carrot and celery and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the prepared veggies, mung beans and garlic and cook an additional 5 minutes or until all of the veggies are soft. Stir in the tamari and ginger and heat through.

Serve over plain rice with extra tamari, if desired.

    That sounds super yummy. I have missed Chinese food A LOT lately so this will be a nice way to fit in a version of it. I’m craving cooked cabbage today, so it’s perfect timing. Thanks for sharing KerryAnn!

    I hope the surgery goes smoothly and your dad gets some relief soon. You have all been through way too much in recent months.

    I make something similar… but it’s MUCH better using finely minced fresh ginger instead of powder. And you need garlic too. Also, if you use fatty burger, you don’t need additional fat.

    I start frying a pound of fatty burger with minced/pressed ginger and garlic, then when the burger is cooked, I toss in a whole head of shredded cabbage and stir to coat in the burger grease, then once the cabbage has wilted and starts to brown, add tamari to finish (while we avoid soy generally, the small amount in tamari doesn’t bug me – though I do get organic to avoid GMO soy).

    This is one of my hubby’s FAVORITE meals and gets a big bunch of veggies in him painlessly. It tastes just like eggroll filling to me.

    You mention, “homemade soy sauce replacement.” Do you have a recipe for that? My daughter can’t eat soy (and I’m not crazy about serving it anyways) and this has limited any cooking of Chinese food in my house… this recipe sounds great!

        Hi KerryAnn,
        I would really be interested in the homemade soy sauce replacement too. A wonky thyroid is what has me on this most interesting ‘chase’ to gather a new lifestyle. I’m so glad I stumbled onto your site. It will be a huge blessing as I learn to live more healthfully.
        Thank you,
        Jen

    Great budget friendly recipe. Added fresh ginger and totally agree it positively altered the recipe. Quick tip. We don’t consume many processed grains and are completely gluten free. However we did have some leftover Trader Joe’s brown rice tortillas in the fridge. Served with this recipe, the tortillas made made a delicious non-fried gf egg-roll dupe. If you don’t have a TJs near you try the identical but a bit more expensive Food For Life option. http://www.foodforlife.com/product-catalog/gluten-free-wheat-free-breads/gluten-free/whole-grain-brown-rice-tortillas

      Gingi, unfortunately Food for Life tortillas recently tested by an independent lab as having a few hundred parts per million of gluten. Despite their labeling, all of their products tested are contaminated. You can find out more info at http://www.glutenfreewatchdog.org or check the older blog posts here at CTF for more information.

    I had absolutely no idea. Thank you for spreading the word. I had intestinal surgery a few years back and don’t want to ever be that sick again. It’s absolutely terrifying that this could happen. The pack insures that it’s GF in more than one place. Luckily this is probably the first time I’ve had them in a year or so. Was suspicious as to what made my skin break out this week. Perhaps this is a factor.

    The rice tortillas (for me) always needed heating to be palatable anyway. I occasionally get injera (fermented Ethiopian teff flat breads- similar to sour dough in taste) from a small family business that I know uses absolutely no gluten in their kitchens (or animal products either) that might work similarly. The moral of the story/: Make it yourself or buy locally from a producer you know and trust. Thanks again for the heads up.

      You’re welcome, Gingi. I’m working on homemade flour tortillas now that Food for Life is out. I’ll post my recipe once I am happy with it.

    I made this today.
    YUMMMY!
    My 8 year old daughter said . . .yum mom. . . its like stir fry!
    I don’t know if this is WAPF approved or not, but I added a TINY bit of sesame oil. It added a nice taste.
    Does anyone know if this is WAPF approved ?

    We loved this, and when I say, we, I mean two adults and six kids. It would seem that there are very few meals during which everyone is happy, so this was a treat! The only thing I was missing was some hot mustard!

    Thank you for this recipe! I first made it last year and have made it regularly since then. My entire family loves it…and with all the required dicing and shredding, everyone has a job to do in the kitchen! Sometimes we serve it over rice but it’s just as good by itself.

    I make my own egg rolls all the time. I used to flavor them with store-bought stir-fry sauces, but they ALL contain MSG, and give me a rash, so I had to figure out how to bring great asian flavor to dishes without the poison.
    If you use fresh ginger, that adds a great dimension of flavor
    I like to add a bit of cayenne pepper, or some red pepper flakes, for some zip.
    If you add the garlic towards the end, it will bring more garlic flavor to the dish.
    Green onions are yummy in egg rolls.
    Chicken might be a nice change-up if you have that on hand.

    This sounds good – maybe I’ll make it for dinner!

    Just found this the other day and made it… YUM! I added frozen grated ginger and garlic at the end. I didn’t have celery so used a tad of celery salt, then also used fish sauce when I did the Eden Foods shoyu. Excellent, a new favourite and one we will make for years to come!
