Ingredients
  

For the Basic Bowls:

  • 1 lbs Ground Turkey
  • 2 Minced Shallots
  • 20 oz Shredded Green Cabbage
  • 4 oz Shredded Carrots
  • 1 Pear
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce (plus extra for garnish)

  • Kimchi
  • Edamame

Instructions
 

For the Egg Roll in a Bowl:

  • We'll start by making our sauce for the meat - blend together the pear, soy sauce, garlic, and sesame oil to form a sauce that is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  • Next, we add the ground turkey to a hot skillet with a little oil. As the meat cooks, slowly add the pear sauce. I like to add it in spoonfuls, allowing the water to evaporate before adding more. Save a few spoonfuls for when the turkey is done. Remove the turkey from the heat, mix the last spoons in and reserve in a bowl.
  • Add the shredded cabbage immediately to the hot skillet and allow to wilt. I like to keep it on the heat long enough for it to wilt but still retain a crunch to it - about 5 minutes.
  • And we're ready to put our bowl together!! Grab a bowl, and top up with cabbage base, some of the turkey and then any and all of the toppings! If you'd like to keep to a bowl like the photo you can add - kimchi, yum yum sauce, edamame, shredded carrot and a soft boiled egg!
