Why you'll love this recipe 

It's a busy night. You're exhausted. You get home late. What you need is an easy recipe that takes just a minute to make. You'll love this delicious recipe!

I gotcha covered! It's an egg roll in a bowl! It's easy,

Here are some of my favorite recipes - whether that's Korean Beef or yummy pot stickers. Or yummy Beef Bowls served with rice - just so good!

Ingredients

Please refer to the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post for the exact measurements. 

  • ground pork - though you can also substitute ground beef, ground chicken or ground turkey.
  • cabbage slaw, green onions, garlic, fresh ginger - this bowl is filled with fresh ingredients and loads of crunch. Grab a bag of coleslaw mix with shredded carrots and purple cabbage, giving it even more flavor and pretty color. Broccoli Slaw would be a yummy substitute! Of course you can also shred a small head of cabbage mixed with red cabbage as well.
  • soy sauce and toasted sesame oil - to season the dish. I prefer low sodium soy sauce but use what you prefer.
  • vegetable or corn oil - for sautéing.

I use my cast iron skillet to make this dish. They conduct heat so well and last forever (mine was my Great Grandma's skillet, it's over 100 years old!).

FAQ's

Can egg roll in a bowl be frozen?

In my opinion, this dish doesn't freeze well. It's best to eat it while it's fresh. Good news - it keeps in the refrigerator up to three days, so there's plenty of time to enjoy this meal.

How do you serve this meal?

We enjoyed it in a bowl, just as shown in the photos. I've also topped it with a poached egg. A zip of sriracha adds a good punch of heat. If you want to stretch the meal a little further, add it to steamed rice. Delicious!

Is egg roll in a bowl healthy?

This is a great low carb version and would be a great choice if you're concerned about your carbs.

How long can you freeze egg roll in a bowl?

Store in an airtight container and freeze leftovers up to three months.

Variations

  • add mushrooms, bok choy, bamboo shoots, or julienned bell peppers, if you're looking to bump up the veggies.
  • cashews or sliced almonds add a nice crunch.
  • shrimp - I'm such a fan of seafood and adding shrimp sautéed until just pink and plump, it's perfect!
  • an egg, scrambled, poached or fried egg adds protein and flavor!
  • top your bowl with sriracha sauce, spicy mayo or your favorite hot sauce!

Storage

Allow the egg roll bowl to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to three days.

Leftovers can be frozen - Store in an airtight container and freeze up to three months.
