The BEST Egg Roll in a Bowl Recipe


Description

Skip the takeout and the deep fryer! This deceptively simple bowl packs all the flavor of traditional egg rolls in a quick, healthy dinner that’s ready in just 20 minutes.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (453g) ground pork (can substitute ground turkey or chicken)
  • 1 medium onion, finely diced (about 1 cup)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, freshly grated
  • 1 bag (14 oz/396g) coleslaw mix (or 5 cups shredded cabbage and 1 cup shredded carrots)
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or coconut aminos for gluten-free option)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha (optional, for heat)
  • 4 green onions, sliced (white and green parts separated)
  • ½ teaspoon white pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons avocado or olive oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Prepare all ingredients before cooking: chop onions, mince garlic, grate ginger, and separate white and green parts of green onions.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and brown the ground pork, breaking it into small pieces, about 5-6 minutes.
  3. Reduce heat to medium and add diced onions. Cook for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
  4. Add garlic, ginger, and white parts of green onions. Stir continuously for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add coleslaw mix to the skillet and toss with meat mixture. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until cabbage is tender-crisp.
  6. Pour in soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, white pepper, and sriracha if using. Stir to coat everything evenly and cook for 1-2 more minutes.
  7. Remove from heat, taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
  8. Garnish with green parts of the onions and serve immediately.
