INGREDIENT NOTES:

LEAN GROUND CHICKEN:

  • It includes the main protein and gives a savory filling in the bowl. Make the recipe light by adding lean ground chicken. You may use ground turkey as a substitute.

GREEN CABBAGE:

  • This cabbage makes up the bulk of the bowl and gives a familiar crunchy texture to the egg roll. It becomes tender when we cook it. You may use napa cabbage as another choice.

YELLOW ONION:

  • It gives a natural sweet taste and a little crunch to the recipe. Onion cooks quickly and mixes well with the cabbage. Utilize shredded zucchini as a replacement.

LOW-SODIUM SOY SAUCE:

  • This sauce gives saltiness and umami taste to the bowl. Low-sodium soy sauce keeps the sodium low in the recipe and makes the recipe light. Include coconut aminos if you are not using soy sauce.

RICE VINEGAR:

  • It gives acidity to balance the savory chicken and sweet vegetables. You may use apple cider vinegar as per your choice.

SESAME OIL:

  • This oil adds a classic toasted sesame aroma to the recipe. Use sesame oil in a smaller amount because it has a strong taste. Include olive oil as a replacement.
