Method
 

  1. Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey or chicken and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess fat. Add the chopped yellow onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger and cook for another minute until fragrant.

  2. Add the shredded carrots, coleslaw mix, snow peas, and sliced shiitake mushrooms to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp. You want them to retain a slight bite.

  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari), hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and sriracha until well combined.
    ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce or tamari, 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon sriracha
  4. Pour the sauce over the meat and vegetable mixture in the skillet. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and the flavors to meld together.
  5. Divide the cooked brown rice or cauliflower rice among your meal prep containers. Spoon the Nutritious Meal Prep Egg Roll Bowl mixture over the rice.

Notes

Allow the completed Nutritious Meal Prep Egg Roll Bowl to cool completely before storing. Divide the mixture and rice into airtight containers. Store refrigerated for up to 4 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through, until heated through. You can also reheat in a skillet over medium heat. While this recipe is best enjoyed fresh, you can freeze components or a fully assembled meal for longer storage. Freeze portions in freezer-safe containers for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating. Note that the texture of the vegetables might be slightly softer after freezing and reheating.
