Egg Roll in a Bowl

Recently I have been seeing recipes for Egg Roll in a Bowl all over the place. Message boards, pinterest, etc. it is becoming the new recipe to try, so I did after a friend posted about it on a message board. The beauty of this recipe is how simple and adjustable it is. In general it is: 1# ground meat, 1-2 bags coleslaw mix, soy sauce + toasted sesame oil. Now you know me - I couldn't leave it alone and truly wanted it to taste like egg rolls do when I eat them which includes duck sauce!

Feel free to give this recipe a try - swap the ground chicken for sausage, pork, etc. Add / subtract ingredients that make you happy. This is basically just a real quick way to make a stir fry and thanks to the cabbage is reminiscent of an egg roll.

Egg Roll in a Bowl: serves 4

1C Brown Rice
2C Water
Salt
1tsp Olive Oil

1lbs Ground Chicken
Pinch Red Pepper Flakes
1TB Fresh Ginger - Minced/Grated
3tsp Toasted Sesame Oil
1-2 Coleslaw Mix Bags (found in the salad area of your grocery store, you want approx 1# +/-)
2TB Soy Sauce
1TB Lime Juice
2TB LaChoy Teriyaki Sauce
1TB Chicken Stock
1/4C Duck Sauce

In a small sauce pot put in the rice, water, salt and olive oil - cover and bring to a boil, stir once, reduce heat to a simmer, cover and let the rice do its things until all of the water has absorbed into the rice. Remove from the heat, leave covered for a few minutes, then fluff it up with a fork.

While the rice is cooking you can get the rest going. In a large saute pan over medium to medium-high, heat 1tsp of the Toasted Sesame Oil, red pepper flakes and ginger, once the pan is hot add the chicken with some salt and pepper and cook until the chicken is completely cooked. Drain if necessary and set to the side. Place the pan back on the heat with the remainder of the oil and add the coleslaw mix to the pan - don't worry I know it looks like a lot but it will shrink down as it cooks. let it cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, then add the soy sauce, teriyaki, lime juice, chicken stock and duck sauce. Add the chicken back to the pan and cook another minute or two.

Put some rice in a bowl, top with the egg roll mixture and serve and enjoy!
