Description

This Inside Out Egg Rolls recipe offers a healthier twist on traditional egg rolls by using lettuce leaves or tortilla wraps instead of deep-fried wrappers. Packed with tender chicken thighs, fresh vegetables, and a flavorful soy-ginger sauce, these rolls are stir-fried and pan-seared to a golden crisp, making them a delicious and satisfying appetizer or light meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Protein and Vegetables

  • 1 lb boneless chicken thighs, diced
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup green onions, chopped
  • 2 cups cabbage, shredded (green or Napa)
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated

Seasonings and Condiments

  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar

Wraps

  • Lettuce leaves or tortilla wraps (for assembling)

Instructions

  1. Cook chicken: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced chicken and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes, ensuring it is cooked through.
  2. Sauté vegetables: Add shredded carrots, green onions, cabbage, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry the mixture until the vegetables soften slightly but remain crunchy, roughly 5 minutes.
  3. Season mixture: Pour low-sodium soy sauce and rice vinegar over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional minute to meld the flavors.
  4. Assemble rolls: Spoon the filling onto fresh lettuce leaves or tortilla wraps. Wrap securely to form the rolls.
  5. Cook rolls: Lightly spray the skillet or an air fryer basket with oil. Place the wrapped rolls seam-side down and cook until golden brown on each side, approximately 3 minutes per side.
  6. Serve: Transfer the cooked rolls to plates. Drizzle any leftover sauce over the top for added flavor. Serve hot, accompanied by your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

  • Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce salt content and keep the dish healthier.
  • If preferred, the rolls can be cooked in an air fryer for a crispier texture and less oil.
  • Lettuce wraps provide a gluten-free option compared to tortillas.
  • Ensure chicken is cooked thoroughly before adding vegetables to avoid undercooking.
  • Customize fillings by adding mushrooms or bean sprouts for extra texture and flavor.
