Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds sausage or ground beef (turkey, chicken or game meat can also be used)
  • 2 medium onions (finely chopped / minced)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons unrefined sesame oil (use another oil for AIP)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ginger (powdered)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (omit for AIP)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic granules (or 4 cloves garlic, minced)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/16 teaspoon stevia extract (optional - See Recipe Notes)
  • 1/2 tablespoon crushed red pepper (optional. Omit for AIP and adjust to taste.)
  • 2 tablespoons white wine (omit or substitute more broth for AIP)
  • 1/3 cup beef broth (see vegan option above)
  • 9 cups shredded cabbage (see notes)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded carrot

Notes

  • Sesame Oil: Yes, you can use another oil, but it just won't be the same. Trust me. For sesame oil, you want to buy a raw version, since cooking with toasted sesame oil makes the oil bitter. You would only want to buy toasted sesame oil if you would like to drizzle it on top of the egg roll after cooking it.
  • Cabbage Buying Tip: One medium head of cabbage yields about 8 - 8.5 cups so plan accordingly.
  • Soy Sauce / Tamari Tips: Personally I like tamari more than soy sauce. Tamari is richer tasting and has less gluten than regular soy sauce. You can even buy gluten-free tamari, which is the best of both worlds! Since soy is almost always GMO, if you're going to use soy sauce, I recommend choosing organic soy sauce.
  • Homemade Broth: If you'd prefer to make your own broth, see Homemade Broth Tips.
  • Sweetener Alternatives: Instead of stevia, you can use 4 tablespoons of almost any other sweetener.
  • Red Pepper Flakes: You might want to adjust the amount of red pepper down, depending on your taste and how hot your pepper flakes are.
