Egg Roll In A Bowl
1 lb ground pork,
beef, chicken or turkey
1 pkg. shredded
coleslaw mix
1/2 medium onion,
diced
1 Tbs. minced
garlic
1 tsp. ground
ginger
3 Tbs. soy sauce
In a wok or large
skillet cook the pork and onion, add remaining ingredients, stir and cook until
cabbage begins to soften. Remove from
heat and serve.
Cook up meat & onions, I used pork |
Some simple seasonings I bought these at the dollar store |
Condiments of your choice |
I had a handful of snow peas I chopped up and threw in |
Add your cabbage |
I told you it was simple.
This is my serving, no rice and topped with a little chili paste and a drizzle of toasted sesame oil |
This is it how it breaks down:
Ground Pork - $1.31
Coleslaw mix - 98¢
Onion - 15¢
Total = $2.44
Rice - 25¢
Total = $2.69
Meat prices vary. I find ground pork anywhere from $1.79 to $2.49 a pound. In this case I found it on markdown which saved me quite a bit. Same with coleslaw mix, 98¢ to $1.39 a bag.
Not only a thrifty meal that would easily feed four people but also very healthy. So here you go, a tasty budget stretching meal. I know we'll be adding this one to our meal plans on a fairly regular basis.

In some cases costs are
approximated. Groceries prices vary
depending on where you live. I don't
include condiments, oils, herbs and spices when I figure the cost of a meal as
it would be incredibly tedious to do so. Plus condiments are subjective as each person
uses more or less.
This looks delicious! I'm going to try it :o)

Enjoy Tania!
DeleteThis looks fantastic, We will have to try this. My girls will want the rice too I am sure.
ReplyDeleteI would imagine. :) Hope you like it!
DeleteYum! I think I'll make this but without the meat. My daughter is pescatarian. Thanks for the recipe :)
ReplyDeleteD.
I'm sure it will be just as good! :)
DeleteI made something similar using sausage for the meat. My recipe used way too much soy sauce, but otherwise we enjoyed it. I hope to try it again with less soy!
ReplyDeleteI like to error on the side of caution when it comes to soy sauce. You can always add more, but you sure can't take it out, can you? Sausage would be really good in this. I may try that next time. Good idea! :)
DeleteI love egg rolls but rarely have them. The innards are the best part. This looks easy and delicious.
ReplyDeleteIt is very easy. I hope you like it. :)
DeleteYum!!!! I'll bet it would be good over quinoa too!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, I bet it would.
DeleteMade this with shrimp, and topped it with that chili-type eggroll sauce you get in Vietnamese restaurants. Absolutely delicious...the Brick (husband) liked it, too. Yet so simple!
ReplyDeleteI just pulled shrimp out of the freezer. I'm going to make this with that tonight! I have some egg roll sauce too. Yum!
DeleteI still make this now and then. It's remarkable the increased price of some ingredients. Still a yummy bargain though :-)
ReplyDeleteMe too. I find myself buying a head of cabbage now instead of the bags of coleslaw. It's a great go-to recipe.
