Description

This Easy Egg Roll in a Bowl recipe is a quick and delicious deconstructed egg roll dish featuring ground pork and crunchy coleslaw mix sautéed with classic Asian flavors like soy sauce, sesame oil, and ginger. It’s a perfect low-carb, weeknight meal that captures all the taste of a traditional egg roll without the wrapper.


Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 14 oz coleslaw mix
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Garnish

  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)


Instructions

  1. Heat the Oil and Cook Onion: Warm the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent, developing a sweet aroma.
  2. Brown the Ground Pork: Add the ground pork to the skillet. Use a spoon to break it apart as it cooks for about 5-6 minutes until fully browned and no longer pink.
  3. Add Aromatics and Spices: Stir in the minced garlic, ground ginger, and black pepper. Continue cooking for another minute to release their fragrant flavors.
  4. Incorporate Coleslaw Mix and Sauces: Add the coleslaw mix to the skillet. Pour in the soy sauce and toasted sesame oil. Toss the mixture well and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender but still retains some crispness.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle sliced green onions and sesame seeds over the top if desired. Serve immediately for a warm, flavorful meal.

Notes

  • For a lower fat version, use lean ground turkey instead of pork.
  • You can substitute coconut aminos for soy sauce to make it gluten free and soy free.
  • Add shredded carrots to the coleslaw mix for extra sweetness and color.
  • This dish reheats well, store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a vegetarian variation, replace ground pork with crumbled tofu or tempeh.
