If you've ever craved the savory, satisfying taste of an egg roll but didn't want the fuss of wrapping and frying, you're in the right place. This quick and easy egg roll in a bowl recipe is your answer to a 30-minute meal that's packed with flavor and perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground pork (or substitute with ground turkey, chicken, or beef)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 4 cups coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage
  • 1 large carrot, shredded
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha or chili garlic sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the Aromatics: Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
  2. Brown the Pork: Add the ground pork to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Cook until no pink remains, roughly 5–7 minutes. If there's excess grease, you can drain it, but a little adds flavor.
  3. Add the Veggies: Toss in the coleslaw mix and shredded carrot. Stir everything together and cook for 5–7 minutes, until the cabbage has wilted but still has a bit of crunch.
  4. Season the Mixture: Pour in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sriracha. Give it a good stir, making sure the sauce coats every ingredient. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes so the flavors meld.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Turn off the heat and stir in most of the sliced green onions, saving a few for garnish. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve hot.

Notes

Pro tip: If you're a fan of saucy dishes, mix an extra tablespoon of soy sauce with a teaspoon of hoisin for a richer flavor. This dish stores beautifully in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and can be frozen for up to 3 months.
