4. Add the garlic and ginger and fry on medium-high heat until fragrant. Add the ground beef to the wok and cook until is browned. Make sure to separate any big lumps. Set aside.

5. Add a bit more oil to the wok and cook the white part of the onion and the carrot until they start to soften, get golden, and are fragrant. 

6. Add the purple cabbage to the pan and cook for 1 minute until it starts to get a bit soft. 

7. Add the browned meat back to the pan and mix well. 

8. Add the sauce to the pan and cook for 5 minutes stirring constantly.

Notes

 This eggroll bowl is a delicious way to have a well-balanced meal with lots of veggies and protein. You can also do it by switching to other veggies like regular white cabbage, kale, bimi.. Also, you can switch the beef to turkey, chicken, or crumbled tofu. 

Leftovers can be stored in a closed container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
