Egg Roll in a Bowl is SO Easy!

- Family favorite: Even the pickiest eaters will ask for seconds.
Ingredients for Egg Roll in a Bowl
Ground Meat – I use ground pork, ground turkey, or chicken. For a vegetarian version, try scrambled eggs or tofu.
Vegetables – Pre-made coleslaw mix or broccoli slaw makes it easy, but you can shred your own cabbage as well. To add more to the mix, grated carrots, cauliflower rice, and finely chopped broccoli are all great options.
Flavors – Fresh minced garlic and ginger add great flavor. If you don’t have minced garlic, use 1 teaspoon of garlic powder in place. Replace regular or low-sodium soy sauce with coconut aminos or tamari if needed.
How to Make an Egg Roll in a Bowl
- 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.
Serving & Storage
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 or in the microwave.

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 so. YUMMY! also keto friendly
I can’t believe as I read this recipe I have every ingredient listed. Can’t wait to try this yummy sounding recipe.
Thank you, learning to cook is actually tasting good. Blessings to y’all. Being a widow sucks but my husband would want me to eat well. Your recipes are easy to follow and are familiar to me.
I’m so sorry to hear of your loss Michelle. I am so glad you are enjoying the recipes and may you continue to find joy and fulfillment in cooking.
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!
It was really tasty
So happy you enjoyed it, Michael!
So Good!!! I did sub onions for shallots and added some Korean spicy garlic sauce and eel sauce. I also mixed ground turkey and ground sausage.
That sounds delicious, Becca! Thanks for sharing.
