• 16 ounce bag coleslaw mix
• ½ cup carrots, peeled and finely shredded
• ½ teaspoon onion powder

HOW TO MAKE EGG ROLL IN A BOWL

STEP ONE: Cook ground beef in a large deep-sided skillet over medium heat until no longer pink. Be careful to NOT break the ground beef into smaller pieces. Keep the pieces larger. 

STEP TWO: Drain grease and return to the stovetop. Add onions and minced garlic and cook until meat is deeper browned. Again, keep the ground beef in larger pieces.

STEP THREE: Add 2 tbsp sesame oil, carrots, and cabbage to the skillet. Use tongs to combine. Let cook for about 5 minutes.

STEP FOUR: In a small separate bowl combine onion powder, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, ground ginger, soy sauce, and vegetable oil. Pour over meat and cabbage mixture.

STEP FIVE: Reduce heat and continue to cook for about 5 minutes.

STEP SIX: Serve hot!
