Can I use beef instead of pork or turkey?

Absolutely! Ground beef works great—just be sure to drain that extra fat after browning. Sometimes I use 85/15 beef when I'm craving that rich, meaty flavor. FYI, it tastes amazing with a splash of extra sriracha to balance the beefiness.

Is this egg roll in a bowl gluten-free?

Yep—if you use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce! I discovered this swap when my gluten-sensitive cousin visited, and now it's my go-to. Double-check that your sriracha brand is GF too if it's a concern (most are, but some hide wheat).

Can I freeze this for later?

Honestly? It's best fresh. The cabbage gets watery when thawed—trust me, I learned the hard way after a freezer experiment gone soggy. But it keeps beautifully in the fridge for 3 days! Pro tip: Under-cook the cabbage slightly if you know you'll have leftovers—it stays crisper when reheated.

What if I can't find coleslaw mix?

No stress! Shred half a small green cabbage and grate 2 carrots—same great crunch. My grocery store was out once, so I used broccoli slaw instead and accidentally created a delicious new version!
