Sulfur is a very useful nutrient because it fights infections and glutamine is a strong anti-inflammatory agent. Cabbage may help protect against radiation, prevent cancer, and reduce heart disease risk according to The Health Benefits of Cabbage in MedicalNewsToday.

Easy Low Carb Egg Roll in a Bowl
Ingredients
- 2–3 teaspoons sesame oil
- 3/4 lb bulk pork sausage
- 1 medium sweet onion cut in half and thinly sliced in half moon
- 2 large carrots cut in thin matchsticks
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger or ginger paste
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/8–1/4 teaspoon Chinese five spice
- 1 medium head green cabbage finely shredded
Instructions
- Add sesame oil over medium heat to large heavy skillet or wok. Cook pork sausage until almost completely browned. Add onion, carrots, ginger, garlic powder and Chinese five spice (see notes) the last 2 minutes of cooking. Remove from skillet and plate.
- If necessary add 1 teaspoon of sesame oil to skillet. Add the cabbage and cook until just starting to wilt, about 2 minutes. Add the sausage mixture back to the skillet. Stir and heat for 30-60 seconds. Serve immediately.
Notes
Chinese Five Spice is delicious but I suggest that you add a little at a time till your taste buds say it is just right.
You can add a little soy sauce to this recipe but I find it more delicious and flavorful without it.

The measurement for the Chinese five spice is incomplete. Are talking tsp, TBS, or…? Since you suggest caution for this ingredient, I don’t want to get it wrong.
Good afternoon. Sorry about the delay. I had to pick the kids up from school and run some errands. Thanks for the heads up. It is teaspoon. 1/8-1/4 teaspoon Chinese Five Spice. I myself would probably go 1/2 teaspoon but I love a ton flavor!
Hi,
Is it GROUND pork?
Thank you,
Natalie
You can use ground pork or ground pork sausage (that does not have heavy seasonings like fennel).
