Egg Roll in a Bowl is a quick and flavorful one-pan dish that captures the essence of classic egg rolls without the wrapper. Ground pork, savory seasonings, and fresh vegetables come together in a hearty skillet meal perfect for a low-carb, gluten-free option that’s easy to make any night of the week.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Filling

  • 1 lb ground pork (or ground turkey, chicken, or beef)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated (or 1 tsp ground ginger)
  • 1 bag (14 oz) coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage & carrots)
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sriracha or chili paste (optional, for heat)
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil: Warm 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat to prepare for cooking the meat and aromatics.
  2. Cook the ground pork: Add 1 pound of ground pork to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula to ensure even cooking and a crumbly texture.
  3. Sauté aromatics: Stir in the diced onion, minced garlic, and grated fresh ginger. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant, allowing the flavors to meld and soften the onions.
  4. Add vegetables: Incorporate the 14-ounce bag of coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots) into the skillet. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the cabbage softens but still retains some texture.
  5. Season the dish: Pour in 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of sriracha or chili paste if using. Stir well and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes to blend the flavors thoroughly.
  6. Finish and serve: Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish the egg roll mixture with sliced green onions and optional sesame seeds. Serve hot as is or accompanied by steamed rice or zucchini noodles for a complete meal.

Notes

  • This dish can be made ahead and tastes even better the next day as the flavors deepen and meld.
  • For a lower-carb option, serve with zucchini noodles instead of rice.
  • Use tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free version.
  • Add sriracha or chili paste gradually to adjust the heat level to your preference.
  • Ground turkey, chicken, or beef can be used as alternatives to pork for varied flavors.
