Inside Out Egg Roll Recipe: Easy Friday Night Dinner Ideas

This egg roll in a bowl Whole30 approved recipe is truly one of my favorites, and I’m always making some variation of it with my weekly meal prep.

You can honestly have so much freedom to truly make this recipe your own by switching up the proteins. I will often just use whatever protein we have on hand; usually a lean ground beef, ground turkey, or a ground chicken. You can even use a ground pork sausage but keep in mind, that’s going to usually be a little higher in fat.

Ingredients for Inside Out Egg Roll

• 1 pound ground meat (beef, chicken, turkey, or pork)
• 1 bag of cabbage mix
• Salt + pepper to taste
• Coconut aminos
• Optional: sesame seeds
• Optional: rice ramen noodles or rice

I also save time by buying my cabbage/veggies in a mixed bag. You can find salad mixes at any grocery store, and coleslaw mixes and broccoli slaw mixes also work really well. Some of them will have other vegetables like kale and carrots added for extra nutritional bonuses.

I also love adding rice ramen noodles (from Costco – they’re gluten free), or a white rice option if I’m still wanting to add a carb to the mix. Keep in mind, this will change the macros and nutrition information if you do.

Instructions for this Easy Friday Night Dinner Idea

• Spray a nonstick skillet with cooking spray or coat with olive oil
• Cook your ground meet until brown and finished, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste
• Add your bag of mixed cabbage + veggies
• Coat with coconut aminos and stir all ingredients together
• Cook on low heat until the cabbage mix is soft
• Optional: add sesame seeds while it’s cooking on low heat or top with sesame seeds if you desire
• Serve and enjoy

Optional:

• If you’re adding in rice ramen noodles, cook those until finished in a separate pot.
• Once finished, drain and add noodles to the pan with all the other ingredients.
• Mix well.

If you decide that yes – you do want to add noodles or rice, here’s how that works: I always cook my noodles in a separate pan until done (usually only takes about five minutes). Then, I add them to the skillet once the meat has been browned and I’ve added the other ingredients, and I top with coconut aminos, stir well, and let cook on low for about 5 minutes.

If you’re choosing rice, instead, a super simple way to cook if you don’t want to make rice on the stove top or a rice maker is to get one of those 90 second microwave packs of Jasmin Rice. Once it’s done in the microwave and it’s softened, add the rice to your skillet and do the same thing.

If you’re adding the rice or noodles, I would probably look at this entire meal as making 3-4 servings. But again, a serving size is super subjective and everyone’s appetite and macro needs will be different.
