Egg Roll in a Bowl is a quick and flavorful one-pan dish that captures the delicious taste of a classic egg roll without the wrapper. Featuring ground pork, crunchy shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and aromatic garlic and ginger, this stir-fry is seasoned with soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar for a perfect balance of savory and tangy flavors.

Ingredients

Meat

  • 1 lb ground pork

Vegetables

  • 4 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup grated carrots
  • 3 chopped green onions
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon fresh minced ginger

Seasonings & Sauces

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar

Instructions

  1. Prepare ingredients: Chop all vegetables, mince the garlic and ginger thoroughly to ensure even flavor distribution throughout the dish.
  2. Cook the meat: Heat a large skillet on medium heat, add the ground pork and cook until no longer pink, breaking up meat with a spatula; drain excess fat as needed to avoid greasiness.
  3. Sauté vegetables: Add grated carrots and shredded cabbage to the skillet; stir-fry for about 5 minutes until the cabbage softens slightly but retains a pleasant crunch.
  4. Add aromatics: Stir in minced garlic, ginger, and chopped green onions; cook for 1-2 minutes more until fragrant and evenly mixed.
  5. Season the dish: Pour soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar over the skillet contents; stir thoroughly and simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  6. Serve & enjoy: Transfer the egg roll mixture to individual bowls while hot; optionally garnish with extra chopped green onions or sesame seeds for added texture and visual appeal.

Notes

  • Use ground turkey or chicken as a lighter alternative to pork.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute ground meat with crumbled tofu or textured vegetable protein.
  • Adjust soy sauce quantity based on preferred saltiness.
  • Add red pepper flakes or sriracha for a spicy kick.
  • This dish pairs well with steamed rice or cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
