Egg Roll in a Bowl

This was AWESOME - I can't believe it's clean!!  The first thing Ross said without knowing what it was "this would taste even better wrapped up in like an egg roll or something"  hahaha  So yummy!

Serves 4

Ingredients:

§  1 pound ground sausage (you could also sub with ground turkey, ground beef etc.)

§  1/2 white onion, sliced

§  4 cloves garlic, minced

§  1 tablespoon Ginger, minced

§  1 tablespoon Soy Sauce

§  1 small head cabbage, shredded or spiralized

§  1 cup shredded carrots

§  8 oz. mushrooms, sliced

§  1 tablespoon sesame oil

§  1/4 cup chopped green onion

Cook ground sausage with sliced white onion in a large skillet over medium heat, making sure meat is crumbled and cooked through. Do not drain.

Stir in garlic, ginger, and soy sauce.

Add cabbage, carrots, mushrooms, and stir for a few minutes until softened.

Remove from heat, stir in sesame oil, and top with green onions.

Note: I used my Spiralizer Vegetable Slicer to slice the cabbage, which made it easy. You could also shred using a cheese grater or knife to thinly chop if desired.  To make the recipe even faster, you could also substitute with prepackaged coleslaw mix.
