Ingredients
Method
- Cook the Meat: Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground chicken or turkey and onion. Cook until browned and onions are soft. Stir in garlic and ginger and cook for 1 more minute.
- Add Vegetables: Stir in cabbage and carrots. Cook for 5–6 minutes until softened but still slightly crisp. Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, and black pepper. Toss to combine and remove from heat.

- Assemble the Bowls: Add a portion of cooked rice to each bowl. Top with the egg roll mixture.
- Finish and Serve: Drizzle generously with sweet and sour sauce. Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, or cilantro if desired. Serve immediately.
