Happy Thursday! It's Day 4 - how is everyone doing?

Let's chat about food - Good health begins in the kitchen, so let's all share a favorite healthy (and maybe quick and easy?) recipe!

Egg Roll in a Bowl is definitely a weekly staple for me! So delicious and healthy! And I promise you - it's easier than it looks!

1 lb ground pork or beef
1 teaspoon minced garlic
14 ounces shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce, or liquid aminos (see note)
1 teaspoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons sriracha
1 whole egg
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons sliced green onions

In a large skillet, brown the pork or beef until no longer pink. Add the garlic and saute for 30 seconds. Add the cabbage/coleslaw, soy sauce, ginger, and saute until desired tenderness. You can add a little water if you need more liquid to saute the coleslaw down.
Make a well in the center of the skillet and add the egg. Scramble until done over low heat.
Stir in sriracha. Drizzle with sesame oil and sprinkle with green onions. Add additional soy sauce and sriracha if desired.  Enjoy!
