The Ingredients

1 cup (2.46 oz) cabbage, shredded (2 Greens)

1/4 cup (.89 oz) celery, chopped (1/2 Green)

1/4 cup (.88 oz) scallions, chopped (1/2 Green)

6 oz raw 93% lean ground beef or pork - you need 4.3 oz cooked (7/8 Lean)

1/4 cup egg beaters (1/8 Lean)

1/8 tsp ground ginger (1/4 Condiment)

1/8 tsp garlic powder (1/2 Condiment)

1/8 tsp Chinese five spice blend (1/4 Condiment)

2 tbsp soy sauce (2 Condiments)

Lettuce Leaves (Optional)

The process

Combine shredded cabbage, celery, and scallions. Toss together. Set aside.

Brown ground beef or pork. Throw the veggies in with the meat. Sprinkle stir-fry mixture with ginger, garlic, and 5-spice. Add soy sauce and egg beaters into skillet. Continue to stir-fry until vegetables are tender, but firm. (No pieces of egg should be visible.) Remove skillet from heat. Wrap in lettuce leaves, if desired. Serve.

*You can leave out the meat and egg for a vegetarian egg roll. If you do this, add 1 tsp canola oil when frying up the veggies. This will be 1 healthy fat.
