Description

Another fast and yummy way to use riced veggies! The original Egg Roll in a Bowl was one of the biggest hits in Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook. Now we bring you part deux. Let’s change things up, nix the cabbage, and make use of our new best friend riced cauliflower. You can get a frozen riced cauliflower medley at most grocery stores these days, which is a mix of cauliflower with a few riced carrots and peas added (read about how to make your own on page 36). This recipe is found in the "Speedy Skillet Meals" section of Trim Healthy Table Cookbook, page 63. This recipe is a family-serve recipe that feeds 6 to 8 people.

Ingredients
  • 2 lbs ground meat (any kind)
  • 3 Tbs toasted sesame oil
  • 1 large onions (chopped)
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce (or a few generous squirts Bragg liquid aminos or coconut aminos)
  • 20 oz frozen riced veggies (2-3 (10 to 12 ounce) bags frozen riced veggies; known as cauliflower medley, or plain cauli rice, please see Recipe Notes below)
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic (minced)
  • 2 tsp ginger (ground, or 2-3 teaspoons finely grated or minced fresh ginger)
  • TH Mineral Salt (to taste)
  • black pepper (to taste)
  • crushed red pepper flakes (to taste)
  • green onions (finely chopped)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Brown the meat in a large skillet over medium-high heat until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
  2. 2
    Add the sesame oil, onion, soy sauce, riced veggies, garlic, and the ginger, and toss around the skillet with the meat for a couple minutes. Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to medium, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, uncovering to stir periodically. Check that the veggies are tender and if not cook for a couple more minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and pepper flakes, then add in the chopped green onions and stir to combine. Taste to “own it” by adding more seasonings if needed, then serve.
Note

From Trim Healthy Table: 

MAKE A FAMILY MEAL

  • For the weight-loss plan, you can enjoy this as an S in a bowl or make this an E meal by having it over
    whole grain rice or quinoa.
  • If having it as an E, make sure to use extra-lean meat (at least 96% lean) or if you don’t have meat that lean, brown the meat, then rinse it well under hot water to release the fat before returning it to the skillet. Use no more than 2 tablespoons oil. If there is a lack of juiciness, add ¼ cup chicken broth or water to the skillet.
  • To make this an FP meal, eat it in a bowl on its own following the E directions for cooking.
  • Growing children can enjoy it with whole grain rice and a dollop of melty butter for a Crossover.
