Ingredients for Egg Roll in a Bowl
Ground Meat – I use ground pork, ground turkey, chicken, or ground beef depending on what I have on hand! For a vegetarian version, try scrambled eggs or tofu.
Vegetables – Making egg roll in a bowl with coleslaw mix makes it extra quick and easy. You can shred your own cabbage if you’d like or use broccoli slaw. Stir in other veggies like shredded carrots or cauliflower rice if you’d like.
Seasoning – Fresh minced garlic and ginger add flavor. If you don’t have minced garlic, use 1 teaspoon of garlic powder in place. I use low sodium soy sauce which can be replaced with coconut aminos or tamari.
How to Make an Egg Roll in a Bowl
This one-pan stir fry is fast and healthy; it’ll be on rotation all year long!
- Brown ground meat and drain fat per the recipe below.
- Add the whites of the green onions, ginger, garlic, and coleslaw mix and saute until slaw is tender.
- Mix in soy sauce and sesame oil. Garnish with cilantro, green onions, and sesame seeds, and serve hot.
Serve egg roll in a bowl as it is or over Instant Pot rice, ramen noodles, or even low-carb zoodles. A crispy, cold side of easy Asian slaw or a side of sesame ginger snap peas are the perfect sides to this tasty dish.
Keep leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheat on the stovetop.
Freeze portions in a zippered bag for up to 3 months and thaw in the refrigerator.

I made the egg roll in a bowl for dinner last evening and wow it was excellent. I added mushrooms to the recipe but followed everything else to a T.
I will make again and again.
prepared as written was delicious! only alteration was adding baked wonton wrappers sprayed with cooking spray and crumbled over top of bowl. perfection!
I love this idea Cwh!
I absolutely loved this dish and made it per the recipe the first time. Second time around, i added half a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to add some brightness and tang, and salted the cabbage mix before tossing with other ingredients. well done!
I used chopped white onion (from my garden) instead of green onions and coconut aminos instead of soy sauce. Also, at the end added a generous squirt of Hosin sauce and hot red chili sauce. Those additions gave the dish just a touch of sweetness and heat. Delicious!
I’ll be making this dish for my friend, from Florida. Then we’re seeing a Josh Turner concert. My husband will enjoy this too. Then he’ll stay home.
I followed the recipe exactly except I added two carrots that I grated with a cheese grater. This was so delicious It will be a regular that are dinner table!!!

This recipe is soooo yummy! The combination of flavors is over-the-top amazing (didn’t change a thing). Definitely putting this on our meal rotation, it’s that good.
Do you crush or dice the garlic cloves, before adding to meat?
I mince the garlic. Enjoy Cynthia!
Can I use a head of cabbage and whole carrots shredded instead of a bag of coleslaw mix?
That should work just fine Sk. If you try it I would love to hear how it turns out!
this was good thanks
This was super easy and delicious! Used ground chicken and a little bit of bourbon sauce in it. Will definitely make again!
