A Recipe to Keep

 When I read recipes that sound good I bookmark them and save them under recipes. Tuesday as I prepared my grocery list I went looking for a shrimp recipe I thought I'd bookmarked from Denise of An English Girl Rambles but couldn't find it.  Instead I came across her recipe for Healthy Eggroll in a Bowl.

One of the key ingredients is a bag of coleslaw mix (cabbage and carrots). I realized I didn't need to purchase that because I had a head of Napa cabbage from last week's CSA pickup plus carrots from same source.  I did have to purchase the ground pork.

I made the recipe Tuesday night and it was so good.  A keeper.  Here are the ingredients:

Healthy Eggroll in a Bowl

1 lb. ground sausage (we used ground pork the first time, ground turkey the second and both were very good)
1 bag fresh coleslaw mix with shredded cabbage and carrots
5 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon ginger
A sliced green onion

Here are my modfications:

*instead of 1 lb. of ground pork I used 1/2 lb.

*I quartered the Napa cabbage and used one carrot plus two stalks of celery

*to the sauce I added some sesame oil

*I used three cloves of garlic instead of 5

*I added a cup of leftover cooked rice


To serve I added some Chinese noodles and a drizzle of sweet and sour sauce (not shown).

In case you're wondering the other bowl has our dessert: Cara Cara orange slices, banana and coconut.

Thanks Denise, for this recipe.  Now can you tell if you've posted one about shrimp in the last year?  I did buy a bag of frozen fresh shrimp to use.
