Inside out egg rolls are a deconstructed version of the classic Chinese egg roll, where all the ingredients such as ground pork, cabbage, and flavorful seasonings, are cooked together in a single dish. It offers a savory and satisfying meal without the need for a deep fried, gluten filled wrapper.
Heat 2 tbsps. of the oil in a large pan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the pork, 1 tsp. salt, and 1 tsp. coconut aminos and cook until completely browned. Drain and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining sesame oil. Add in the onions and stir until they begin to wilt. Add in the garlic and ginger and mix frequently for about 1 minute.
Add in the coleslaw mix and the shredded carrots. Stir and cook for just a few minutes until everything starts to wilt and isn't super crunchy.
Add to the pan the pork, ½ tsp. salt, water chestnuts, 1 Tbsp. of coconut aminos, and the Chinese 5 spice powder if using. Stir completely.
