Instructions
- Prep all your ingredients as shown above.
- In a large pan, spray with olive oil and add your diced onions and half of the white parts of the green onions. Sauté for a minute or two. Add in half the minced garlic and ginger. Once fragrant, add in your diced mushrooms (both shitake and crimini) and add 1 tablespoon of coconut aminos and 1 tsp sesame oil.
- Once mushrooms are soft, add in your ground chicken. Season with Chinese five spice blend, salt and pepper. Cook until no longer pink.
- Pull out 2/3 of the chicken mixture and place into 3 different prep containers. Add in some romaine or bibb lettuce to the container.
- Leave the remaining chicken mixture in the pan and add in the shredded cabbage and carrots. Add another tablespoon of coconut aminos and cook until wilted. Pull out and set-aside to cool. This is your filling for the egg rolls!
- While the egg roll filling is cooling, use the same pan to make the stir-fry! Add another few sprays of the olive oil and add in your sliced onions and the other half of the white parts of the green onions. Sauté for a minute or two. Add in the other half ofminced garlic and ginger. Once fragrant, add in your sliced mushrooms (both shitake and crimini) and add 1 tablespoon of coconut aminos, 1 tsp sesame oil and orange juice. Cook until softened.
- Add in your sliced chicken breast or shrimp and season with salt and pepper. Cook until no pink is showing. Add in soba noodles and hoisin sauce. Mix well and place into two separate meal prep containers. Top with sesame seeds and green part of green onions.
- Make the cucumber kimchi! Take your diced cucumbers and mix with 2 tablespoons of coconut aminos or tamari. Add in 1-2 tablespoons (to taste) of the kimchi seasoning. I use Sunny's Gourmet Products, Kimchee Seasoning from Amazon, but it is MUCH cheaper if you buy it directly at Whole Foods. Place it in the containers with the noodle stir-fry. Add a soft-boiled egg to each and this meal is complete!
- Make the egg rolls! Take the cooled mixture and roll according to the package. If you are using the small egg rolls, you will make 12. If you are using the big ones, just 6.
- Bake or Air-fry your egg rolls. If baking, spray with cooking spray and cook at 425 for about 15-18 minutes (depending on size of egg roll). If air frying, fry at 390 for 7 minutes. The Air Fryer I own and LOVE is the GoWISE USA 3.7-Quart Air Fryer.
- Add your egg rolls into the chicken lettuce wrap containers and you are DONE with both meals.
