Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground pork (or ground beef or turkey)
  • 1 small head of cabbage, shredded (about 4 cups)
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 green onions, sliced (optional for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Start by washing and shredding the cabbage and carrots. Mince the garlic and grate the fresh ginger. Slice the green onions if using for garnish.
  2. Layer in the crockpot: In a 6-quart crockpot, add the ground meat first, breaking it up slightly. Then add the shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, black pepper, and sesame oil if using.
  3. Slow cook the mixture: Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the meat is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender. Stir once or twice during cooking if possible to mix flavors evenly.
  4. Stir before serving: Once done, stir everything thoroughly to combine the flavors and break up any remaining meat chunks.
  5. Serve and garnish: Spoon the egg roll bowl into plates or bowls and garnish with sliced green onions if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
