Eyeballin' It: A Collection of (Mostly) Healthy & Quick Takes on Food

If I had the opposite of the metabolism I have now, I would eat egg rolls every day. Greasy, crunchy, delicious egg rolls. Ugh. Paired with some fried rice or orange chicken… What more do you need in this world?! Unfortunately for those of you like me - folks that can’t eat a raisin without bloating - daily egg roll fixes are out of the question.

…Unless you’re a genius like myself and take the greasy wonton crunch out of the equation. Yes, the shell is amazingly delicious. But I promise that you (probably) won’t even miss it once you try this dish.

What you’ll need:

•1/2 package slaw mix (or about 1-1.5 cups shredded carrots/cabbage)

•1/2 small yellow or white onion

•1 package ground meat (pork is the most “accurate”, but I’ve made this with both lean beef and turkey and it was just as delicious)

•Olive oil

•Minced garlic (eyeballed)

•Your favorite Asian sauce (I used a pre-made gyoza sauce from Trader Joes, but this can be anything pre-made to your liking, soy sauce, coconut aminos, or a homemade teriyaki with soy sauce/honey)

•Green onion for garnishing

Heat a large skillet with olive oil, and brown the meat, garlic, and onions until cooked through. Add the 1/2 package of slaw mix, drizzle a bit more olive oil in, and stir until cabbage starts to soften. Once it does, drizzle in your sauce of choice while stirring until the dish hits your desired consistency. Garnish with green onion and serve over rice (but you don’t have to - I ate the whole damn skillet and I didn’t need no rice)! Tastes great with a drizzle of sriracha as well.
