Egg Roll in a Bowl with Ramen Noodles

Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground chicken
• 1 Small onion (Chopped)
• 1 tbsp Avocado oil (For cooking)
• 1 tsp Sesame oil (For cooking)
• 16 oz Coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage
• 6 oz Ramen noodles (The author used two packs of Momofuku Goods noodles)
• Salt (To taste)
• Black pepper (To taste)
• Water (For boiling the ramen noodles; amount sufficient to submerge noodles)
• 0.333 cup Soy sauce or coconut aminos (For the sauce)
• 1 tbsp Honey (For the sauce)
• 1 tbsp Rice vinegar (For the sauce)
• 1 clove Garlic (Minced; for the sauce)
• 1 tsp Sriracha (Optional; for the sauce)
• Scallions (Optional garnish; sliced)
• Sesame seeds (Optional garnish)
• Peanuts (Optional garnish; crushed)

Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce or coconut aminos, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and optional sriracha until smooth. Set the sauce aside.

2. 2

   Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the avocado oil and sesame oil and allow them to heat until shimmering but not smoking.

3. 3

   Add the chopped onion to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 3–4 minutes.

4. 4

   Add the ground chicken. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook, breaking the chicken into small crumbles, until browned and cooked through, about 6–8 minutes; no pink should remain.

5. 5

   Add the coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage to the skillet. Stir it into the chicken and continue cooking for about 5 minutes, until the cabbage is softened but still has some texture.

6. 6

   Meanwhile, bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add the ramen noodles and cook until tender, about 2 minutes, or according to the noodle package directions.

7. 7

   Drain the cooked ramen noodles thoroughly.

8. 8

   Add the drained noodles to the skillet with the chicken and cabbage mixture. Pour the prepared sauce over everything.

9. 9

   Toss the noodles, chicken, cabbage, and sauce together until evenly combined and coated. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

10. 10

    Serve immediately, topped with optional sliced scallions, sesame seeds, or crushed peanuts.

Notes

The recipe specifically suggests soy sauce or coconut aminos. Sriracha is optional. Serve immediately for the best noodle texture. The source suggests scallions, sesame seeds, or crushed peanuts as optional toppings.
