Description
A vibrant and incredibly flavorful 20-minute vegan egg roll in a bowl, also known as ‘Crack Slaw,’ featuring savory plant-based ground ‘meat’ and crisp vegetables in a delightful Asian-inspired sauce.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon (15ml) sesame oil
1 pound (450g) vegan ground beef alternative (Beyond or Impossible)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon (5g) ginger, minced
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 (14 ounce/400g) bag coleslaw mix
1 (8 ounce/225g) can sliced water chestnuts, drained and chopped
1 large carrot, shredded or julienned
2 green onions, sliced
Sauce:
1/4 cup (60ml) low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons (30ml) rice vinegar
1 tablespoon (15ml) maple syrup or brown sugar
1 teaspoon (5ml) sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon sriracha or chili garlic sauce
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk the sauce ingredients together. Set aside.
Heat the sesame oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the vegan ground beef alternative and cook for 5-7 minutes until fully cooked and a little crispy. Stir in the garlic, ginger, and pepper. Cook until fragrant, about a minute.
Add the cabbage, carrots, and water chestnuts. Fry for 3-4 minutes until the cabbage begins to wilt but still has a bite to it (crisp-tender).
Remove pan from the heat and stir in the green onions and sauce. Season with salt and pepper if needed. Serve as is or with rice and extra chili garlic sauce or sriracha for the table. Enjoy!
Notes
For extra crunch, garnish with toasted sesame seeds or crispy fried wonton strips (check for vegan options).
Adjust the amount of sriracha to control the spice level according to your preference.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave.
